A woman hunted by a corporation after growing teeth, horns, and tentacles due to a genetic experiment.
Yaya Betancourt faces a terrifying reality when AlphaBeta Pharmaceutical targets her for a decades-old genetic trial. Her body becomes the battleground for corporate ambition, forcing her to run while undergoing grotesque changes. The story examines the loss of self-control as her new appendages develop their own consciousness. Piper uses this premise to critique how large entities treat human subjects as disposable resources. The tension arises from Yaya’s isolation and the physical horror of her evolving form. Readers follow her desperate attempts to understand what she has become while evading capture. The narrative does not offer easy escapes or safe havens for its protagonist.
Published in 2022 by Tantor Audio, this work engages with contemporary anxieties regarding pharmaceutical power and bodily autonomy. It reflects a modern gothic tradition where scientific progress is depicted as invasive and dehumanizing. The setting emphasizes the pervasive reach of American corporate structures over individual lives.

Hailey Piper delivers a potent critique of corporate dehumanization through the lens of intense body horror. The narrative excels in depicting the visceral terror of Yaya Betancourt’s transformation, effectively blending gothic traditions with modern dystopian anxieties.

It offers a relentless, unsettling experience for those willing to engage with difficult themes of exploitation and physical metamorphosis.
