But you can't outrun what's already inside you.As reality fractures and their numbers dwindle in increasingly grotesque, nightmarish ways, Kathy begins to realize the horrifying truth-she was never meant to escape.The Benbows have always been here.They are waiting. Watching.And now, they have her.In the end, there is no survival, only the spreading of roots.Some things never die.And some things never let you go. A slow-burn terror that spirals into unrelenting horror, BLOODROOTS is a chilling, atmospheric nightmare-perfect for fans of stories where the evil doesn't just haunt... it consumes.
