A dementia sufferer confronts supernatural horrors linked to her past.
Dennie Keeling’s life is defined by loss and memory loss. Her husband is dead, her children are grown, and Sarah, her closest confidante, died in prison after murdering an abusive spouse. For twelve years, Dennie tends her allotment in peace. This tranquility ends when new neighbors arrive. Strange events follow: premature flowering and nocturnal shadows. The situation turns physical when Sarah returns from the grave. She leaves blood-written symbols and warnings of impending doom. Dennie recognizes an ancient evil but faces disbelief due to her condition. Brogden uses this premise to explore isolation and the terror of losing one’s grip on reality while facing genuine supernatural threats.
Published by Titan Books in 2020, this work sits within the contemporary UK horror tradition. It draws on gothic fiction elements and explores the intersection of mental health struggles with supernatural folklore. The narrative reflects modern anxieties about aging and memory loss while maintaining classic horror tropes.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Brogden constructs a tense narrative where psychological decay merges seamlessly with supernatural horror. The protagonist’s deteriorating mental state creates a compelling ambiguity regarding the reality of the threats she faces, effectively blending gothic dread with modern psychological themes. The story excels in building atmosphere through subtle disturbances like premature flowering and nocturnal shadows before escalating to physical manifestations. This approach suits readers who enjoy literary horror that prioritizes mood over plot mechanics. While the lack of definitive resolution may unsettle some, it enhances the overall sense of impending doom and isolation inherent in the tale.
