If you’re looking for a book that will make you sleep with the lights on, look no further than Seed, the debut novel by Ania Ahlborn. 📚 Ahlborn is a master of horror, suspense, and Southern gothic. She creates a chilling and atmospheric story that draws on the rich tradition of Southern literature, from William Faulkner to Flannery O’Connor. But don’t expect any Southern charm or hospitality here. The rural Georgia landscape, with its swamps, woods, and dilapidated houses, is a place of secrets and horrors that lurk beneath the surface. 🌳🐊 The characters are complex and believable, each with their own secrets and struggles. Jack is a flawed but sympathetic protagonist, who tries to protect his wife and children from the demonic force that torments him. His daughter Charlie is especially intriguing, as she undergoes a chilling transformation that tests the bonds of love and loyalty. Seed is a book that will keep you up at night, both with fear and curiosity. It is a thrilling and terrifying read, full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end. It is also a book that will make you think about the nature of human nature, and the choices we make that shape our destiny. 🤔 If you are a fan of horror, suspense, or Southern fiction, you will enjoy this book. It is a remarkable debut by a talented writer, who has since written several more novels that are equally captivating and disturbing. 🙌 I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Summary
With nothing but the clothes on his back--and something horrific snapping at his heels--Jack Winter fled his rural Georgia home when he was still just a boy. Watching the world he knew vanish in a trucker's rearview mirror, he thought he was leaving an unspeakable nightmare behind forever. But years later, the bright new future he's built suddenly turns pitch black, as something fiendishly familiar looms dead ahead. When Jack, his wife Aimee, and their two small children survive a violent car crash, it seems like a miracle. But Jack knows what he saw on the road that night, and it wasn't divine intervention. The profound evil from his past won't let them die...at least not quickly. It's back, and it's hungry; ready to make Jack pay for running, to work its malignant magic on his angelic youngest daughter, and to whisper a chilling promise: I've always been here, and I'll never leave. Country comfort is no match for spine-tingling Southern gothic suspense in Ania Ahlborn's tale of an ordinary man with a demon on his back. Seed plants its page-turning terror deep in your soul, and lets it grow wild.
