The Unskinning
A Folk Horror NovellaBy M.C. Blackwood
Length1h 12m
About this audiobook
It starts with a flicker. A lamp that won't settle. A room she doesn't remember walking into.
Then a scar — small, star-shaped, and not there yesterday.
Then a name, arriving in her head like it was always hers to know: Emily Thorpe. A girl who disappeared a year ago, from a village Alisa has never set foot in.
By the time she understands what's happening to her, it's already begun. Her hand is moving without her permission. Her reflection has someone else's eyes. And somewhere in the woods behind her house, something patient — something that has done this before, to a whole line of daughters before her — is waiting for her to stop fighting.
This is The Unskinning. Press play if you're brave enough to find out what's left of you at the end of it.
