Burrow

Burrow is a slow-burn body-horror novel about love, disability, and the quiet terror of being claimed by something that understands you too well.

Silas is twenty, careful with his body, and deeply in love with his fiancé, Daniel. When they leave the city for a long-planned camping trip, Silas hopes the forest will offer what his body rarely does: relief, space, and the freedom of water that doesn't weigh him down.

But before they leave, something beneath the soil finds him.

What begins as a harmless bite becomes a series of subtle changes-strange dreams, unfamiliar strength, marks beneath the skin that look like roots searching for light. As the forest grows more attentive and Silas's body begins to respond in ways he can't explain, Daniel watches the man he loves drift toward something ancient and listening.

The deeper they go, the harder it becomes to tell where Silas ends and the woods begin.

Burrow is a story about what it means to survive when leaving may be more dangerous than staying-about intimacy under pressure, bodies that adapt when they must, and the terrible comfort of being wanted by the earth itself.
