Young retiree, Sebastian Page, lives a low stakes life in small town, Black River, Missouri. He leaves behind the corporate slog, the woman he once loved, and a childhood he can barely recall. With girlfriend Lacey, they reconnect with an old friend, Matty, and encounter old ghosts: Mena, an ex-girlfriend now engaged to someone new, and the absence of a former coworker that doesn’t appear accidental.

As Sebastian attempts to regain Mena’s affections once again, disturbing events befall the circle of friends that lead to the discovery of a strange white chapel in the middle of Fort Pines Park; a sprawling forest large enough to conceal the darkest of secrets.

Each new catastrophe draws closer to home, revealing cryptic connections between the chapel and a dark force hunting random victims to create ritualistic soap.

SUBCUTANEOUS explores themes of bodily autonomy, paranoia, and the fragile nature of reality through the lens of intimate horror. It was inspired by my love for soap making as a craft, as well as the macabre and fear of the unknown. One of my biggest fears is losing control of my mind, so I thought, why not release that terror into a bit of fiction?

When Ben made a choice on that fateful night against Tyler, he split the timeline into three paths. Journey into this anthology to see what happened after the epilogue rolled.
