Imaginary Friends Who Kill. Spencer West Case, #3

Across the Pacific Northwest, mysterious figures appear in bedrooms, apartments, and forgotten corners of ordinary homes. They promise companionship. Protection. A chance to fill the empty places left behind by loss. Then they begin to change. As reports of impossible sightings multiply and a terrifying entity known only as the Mother-Tulpa grows stronger, Spencer realizes every counterfeit creation is feeding something that should never have been born.
To stop it, she must confront the consequences of her own ambition, uncover the truth behind the person exploiting her work, and face an intelligence stitched together from human longing itself. Blending psychological horror, supernatural suspense, and modern folk horror, Imaginary Are the Friends Who Kill explores grief, guilt, obsession, and the dangerous need to believe that love can be manufactured.
