The Body

Bethany C. Morrow

Save to Your Books

The Body is a pulse-pounding supernatural horror story from bestselling author Bethany C. Morrow, where one woman must survive a series of bizarre and escalating attacks on her marriage.

Mavis broke from her parents’ congregation years ago, but she still hasn’t recovered. Their impossible expectations and soul-shredding critiques have dug deep into her mind, and she’s taunted by the knowledge that even when she’s done nothing wrong, she’ll never be right.

Now Mavis is afraid she’s about to lose the only thing she has: her husband, Jerrod. The man she’s always known was too good to be true. No one thinks she deserves him—not even after surviving the serial cheater they wanted her to stick by—and soon they’ll all find out they were right.

Mavis is already unraveling when a brush with death shows her what real fear looks like. Soon, she’s under constant attack from all directions. As the assaults turn increasingly vicious and bizarre, Mavis realizes that Hell isn’t reserved for the afterlife.

And sinner or not, no one is coming to save her.

Here are some February 10th releases on my radar (and should be on yours!). First, the ones I've had a chance to read:\ \ Murder Bimbo by Rebecca Novack 5/5 stars\ \ Put this on your TBR if you support women's rights and wrongs. A sex worker gets recruited to become a political assassin...or is that what really happens? This story is told 3 very different ways.\ \ A Slow and Secret Poison by Carmella Lowkis 4.25/5 stars\ \ Put this on your TBR if you want to read a saphic, gothic story that will find it's place in the weird girl canon.\ \ Belgrave Road by Manish Chauhan 4/5 stars\ \ Put this on your TBR if you enjoy immigration stories (this is 2 for 1).\ \ She Made Herself a Monster by Anna Kovatcheva 3.5/5 stars\ \ Put this on your TBR if you enjoy folk horror or enjoy women who make opportunities for themselves.\ \ And the five I'm still waiting to get my hands on:\ \ Fourth Princess by Janie Chang\ \ Why it interests me: a gothic story in a non-western setting.\ \ The Renovation by Kenan Orhan\ \ Why it interests me: I love stories where you don't know what is actually real. In this one, a woman wakes up in her bathroom that has been converted into a prison cell. \ \ Maria the Wanted by V. Castro\ \ Why it interests me: A vampire story with Aztec influences.\ \ I Hope You Find What You're Looking for by Bsrat Mezghebe\ \ Why it interests me: an Eritrean immigration story.\ \ The Body by Bethany C. Morrow\ \ Why it interests me: a supernatural horror story with deconstructing vibes.
