October Cravings

Audrey Wickersham navigates life after surviving a physical transition and defeating The Council with her family. Now she faces a new challenge: a tutor who triggers an uncontrollable urge to eat her whenever math is mentioned. This narrative blends supernatural horror with the mundane struggles of adolescence, creating a unique voice for readers who enjoy dark comedy mixed with genre fiction. The story centers on Audrey’s internal battle between her human desires and her monstrous instincts. It draws on gothic traditions by exploring the isolation of being different and the fear of losing control. The text uses first-person narration to immerse the reader in Audrey’s perspective, highlighting the absurdity of her situation. Shrieves qualifies as an author who writes with a sharp, ironic tone, appealing to fans of paranormal romance and urban fantasy. This book suits those who appreciate humor in horror and characters who are both vulnerable and dangerous. It may not suit readers seeking serious, grimdark fantasy or pure romantic dramas without supernatural elements. The narrative structure follows Audrey’s daily life as she manages her new identity. It does not rely on complex world-building but focuses on character dynamics and immediate conflict. The relationship with the tutor serves as a central plot device, driving the tension through simple interactions rather than epic battles.
