Repression

We fear what goes bump in the night, but the real monster is what creeps inside. Fifteen years after the tragic accident that took her brother, Nat returns to her small hometown, haunted by the ghosts of her past and the memories she thought she had left behind. What she hoped would be a chance for closure turns into a nightmare when a brutal act of violence leaves her reeling. In the midst of this chaos, Nat discovers an unsettling connection to a tormented teenage spirit-a restless soul whose tragic fate is deeply intertwined with her own.
As the spirit's haunting presence grows more insistent, Nat is thrust into a harrowing race against time to uncover the identity of a killer who seems to operate with a sinister purpose. The line between the living and the dead blurs as she encounters supernatural forces beyond her understanding, including malevolent apparitions and eerie manifestations that defy explanation. With every clue, Nat's reality becomes more distorted, revealing hidden truths about her own suppressed memories.
In Repression, Morrigan Ellis crafts a spine-chilling narrative where the true horrors are not just the malevolent entities that lurk in the dark but also the monsters of the mind-secrets and repressed fears that come to life with terrifying consequences. This supernatural whodunnit plunges readers into a world where the past refuses to stay buried, and the dead have unfinished business that could cost Nat everything she holds dear.
