About this audiobook
A NATIONAL BESTSELLER
From award-winning horror author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke comes a haunting and “utterly original” (Booklist, starred review) tech-Gothic thrill ride about sorrow, memory, and the unabashed complexity of love as a transgressive act.
After his husband dies, Simeon Link finds himself overcome by grief and seeking comfort in an unusual support group called The Wretches, who offer an addictive and dangerous source of relief. They introduce Simeon to a curious figure known as Porcelain Khaw—a man with the ability to let those who are grieving have one last intimate moment with their beloved...for a price.
“Immersive and compelling” (Library Journal, starred review), Wretch transports us to a world where not everything is as it seems, and those we love may be the ones who haunt us most.
