‘The end of Scarlett Algee’s ‘And Cast It From You’ brought a kind of psychic squirming that I may never fully be free of.’ -William Holloway, author of Lucky’s Girl
When Kris Winters moves into her late grandmother’s house, she expects a lot of dust and clutter, especially in the old untouched shed.
What she finds is so much worse.
What starts as a seeming allergic reaction soon blossoms into much more: first an eye infection, then bleeding, then agony, until her only refuge is drugs and darkness. But even those don’t stop the pain for long…or the prickly, crawling, maddening itch-and why can’t she stop visiting the shed?
Forced to take matters into her own hands, Kris is about to find out that a little dust is the least of her worries.
Originally released on the Wicked Library podcast, ‘And Cast It From You’ is an extreme horror story of how a woman can be driven to madness…when something gets in.
‘One hell of a tale of terror.’ -Nora B. Peevy for Hellnotes
