Fallow Heart
A demon pierces a teen's heart, triggering rage and a local murder spree.
Lorelai Blake faces a dual crisis as her body changes and people die around her. The demonic presence grants her strength but also drives her toward violence. She must determine if she is the killer or merely connected to the crimes. The narrative tracks her descent into a state where human morality clashes with demonic instincts. Finn uses this premise to examine how physical transformation mirrors internal psychological shifts. The story does not offer easy answers about identity, instead presenting a gritty look at losing control of one's own mind and body.
Published in 2018 by Lulu.com, this work fits within the contemporary young adult horror genre. It draws on gothic traditions of internal corruption and external monstrosity. The setting in Chester provides a grounded backdrop for the supernatural events, appealing to American readers interested in modern takes on classic horror tropes involving teenage protagonists.

Finn delivers a tense exploration of demonic influence through the lens of adolescent insecurity. By grounding supernatural events in the mundane difficulties of growing up, the story creates a unique atmospheric dread. The protagonist's struggle with her own morality against demonic instincts provides a compelling internal conflict.
