From Little Stack

Feminine power is often associated with youth. It’s sexual prowess. Virility. That’s why older women tend to be overlooked. Discarded and ignored. Especially once they hit menopause. But sometimes, that invisibility offers freedom.

Mary has always blended into the background. Now middle-aged, her body is changing. She expected the hot flashes and body aches. She didn’t expect hearing voices or passing out in front of mirrors. There’s an echo of the past calling her. Urging her to do things. One way or another, Mary is going to find out exactly who she is, and what’s she’s capable of.

Publisher Description

Nat Cassidy's highly commercial, debut horror novel Mary: An Awakening of Terror, blends Midsommar with elements of American Psycho and a pinch of I'll Be Gone in the Dark.

Mary is a quiet, middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself.

But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can't look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things.

Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown, hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. Instead, visions of terrifying, mutilated specters overwhelm her with increasing regularity and she begins auto-writing strange thoughts and phrases.

Mary discovers that these experiences are echoes of an infamous serial killer. Then the killings begin again.

Mary's definitely going to find herself.
