Praise for "Molting"
“A searing horror debut overflowing with incredible and haunting imagery. This one will make you think twice about your next house renovation.”— Gwendolyn Kiste, Four-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of THE HAUNTING OF VELKWOOD and RELUCTANT IMMORTALS
“MOLTING is madness, a downward spiral in the most authentic way, unapologetic as it shreds your psyche.”
—Nick Roberts, THE EXORCIST’S HOUSE and LYLA, IN THE FLESH
"Molting is suspenseful, shock-inducing body horror dug right out of a secret room in the basement of an abandoned house, reminiscent of T. Kingfisher's "The Twisted Ones," only ten times as spine-chilling. Kathryn Tennison is a unique voice in horror who is now permanently on my Want-To-Read list!"— Jill Girardi, Owner, Kandisha Press
“What a wicked spin on the haunted house story! MOLTING portrays a descent into madness in authentic and terrifying ways other books can only dream of. Tennison has crafted a pitch-black rumination on what it means to lose yourself and never lets the reader find their footing for a second.”—Brennan LaFaro, author of the SLATTERY FALLS trilogy.
