Doris

When single mum Karen and her baby visit their elderly neighbour Doris, Karen soon realises that things are not at all what they seem. Doris has plans for Karen and the baby and enlists a group of elderly cohorts to see her plan through.

Based on the acclaimed short film of the same name, comes a deeper, darker, and far more unsettling journey. This chilling novel expands the nightmare into a full-length descent, a chilling exploration of neighbourly affection twisted into obedience, the thin line between companionship and control, and the horrors that thrive behind the most ordinary front doors.

This unsettling tale peels back the wallpaper on small-town gentility to expose the rot beneath: friendship curdled into fanaticism, kindness sharpened into cruelty, and the horrifying certainty that evil doesn't always knock, sometimes it bakes you a cake first!
