Matriarch by Jason Calvin

From the author who impregnated your minds with Ideation and The Routine comes his sickest, most cruel, and surreal conception yet. True horror infects us all, and everybody has a Matriarch.

Candice Harper never consented to neglect, isolation, or the hopelessness inflicted by incompetent caregivers. She didn’t belong in Elder Grove, so she wandered the inescapable Pine Barrens. There, she was content playing with other abandoned bodies. Creeps offered acceptance and even started following her home. When contact became restricted, Dee tried to be normal by agreeing with a maggot-ridden god that introduced a new form of anguish with inherited duties. No one cared what made Crazy Dee happy, so she suffered with insidious secrets that gave birth to legendary abuse. The local “Suicide City” provides solace through dark magick and the conception of unadulterated terror. What about Dee? How many times can consent be ignored before the bough breaks? Other than suffering, you have no idea what to expect!
