What if the skin you wore was the one thing that doomed you?


From the author of Filthy Appetites comes a new nightmare of survival horror.


Amid rising floodwaters in a small neighborhood in Thailand, young men are dying in mysterious accidents, and whispers of the dreaded “Widow Ghost”—a woman who perished in flames two decades ago are spreading through the community.


At the heart of this unfolding horror is Dew, a 20-year-old who was born intersex and raised as a girl to protect him from the Widow’s deadly attention. Dew has recently embraced his authentic self, even as the ghost’s body count continues to rise. His childhood friend Ploy, now a university student in Bangkok investigating disappeared activists, returns home just as floodwaters threaten to swallow their neighborhood.


When an urgent mission forces Dew, Ploy, and their friends to navigate the submerged streets, they find themselves fighting for their lives against horrors born of both this world and beyond. Together, they must uncover the truth of the Widow’s curse and escape their neighborhood's horrifying past before it drags them into darkness forever.
