Chaos

Mary Sangiovanni, known for her previous works including the Hollower Trilogy and Thrall, presents a novel centered on madness and horror. The narrative follows Myrinda and her boyfriend Derek as they move into the Bridgewood Estates apartments. These units are described as clean, modern, and new, offering what seems like an ideal start to their shared life together. This setting is deceptive because the building rests upon a gateway to another world. This portal connects to an abyss of chaos from which horrific monsters emerge. These entities, referred to as the chaotic ones, bring an insanity sickness that spreads among the residents. As the tenants of Bridgewood descend into lunacy, the story details how unthinkable acts and violent deaths accumulate around the main characters. The plot focuses on the psychological deterioration of those living in close proximity to this supernatural threat. Myrinda and Derek must confront their own growing madness while trying to survive the whims of the chaotic ones. The book suits readers who enjoy stories about domestic settings corrupted by external supernatural forces. It may not appeal to those seeking traditional ghost stories or clear resolutions, as the horror stems from psychological unraveling rather than physical combat alone.
