1. You Know You Want This
Cat Person and Other Stories
A collection of dark, unsettling short stories that probe the messy intersections of desire, power, consent, and self-deception in contemporary life, blending psychological realism with horror and satire. From awkward hookups to manipulative friendships and monstrous transformations, these tales expose the uneasy truths people hide from others and themselves, revealing how intimacy can curdle into cruelty, humor into dread, and ordinary encounters into quietly terrifying reckonings.
