Beskrivning

The house remembers what the living forget.The house breathes -it keeps its dead close and nobody ever leaves. A grandmother and a granddaughter live together under its roof, surrounded by the ghosts of its past. When a local boy disappears, the two women combine forces with the spirits that haunt them in the pursuit of something that resembles justice.Woodworm is a furious, class-conscious horror that drags generations of monsters into the sun, every page drenched with dread and strange beauty.‘Tense, chilling’ Mariana Enriquez‘Lays bare intergenerational horror and feminine rage’ Stylist
