Mother Of Beasts by Jeremiah Duncan

BLOOD WITCH UNLIMITED.

After losing her marriage, her home, and her health, Eleanor Harrow retreats to a crumbling farmhouse in rural Kentucky with the only family she has left: her animals. Dozens of cats. Two aging dogs. A few horses. They are hungry. She is broke. And no one is coming to help.

When a violent encounter leaves a man dead on her kitchen floor, Eleanor makes a choice she can never undo.

She feeds the animals.

What begins as desperation becomes ritual. What feels like survival turns into devotion. Men from dating apps arrive and never leave. The land begins to respond. The animals change and something ancient awakens in the woods beyond her barn, watching, guiding, and demanding more.

As rumors spread, strangers begin arriving not out of curiosity, but belief. A quiet cult forms around Eleanor’s property. Some come to witness. Some come to offer themselves while some come to stop what’s happening.

Detective Milo Griggs is the only one who sees the pattern of adult men vanishing, and the trail leads to Bell Hollow Road. But in a town willing to ignore disappearances, bury evidence, and call folklore nonsense, Griggs finds himself standing alone against something older than law and reason.

That's because Eleanor is no longer just a woman trying to survive. She is becoming something else.

Mother of Beasts is a slow-burn folk horror novel steeped in Appalachian dread, cult obsession, and psychological descent. Perfect for readers who enjoy ritual horror, small-town horror, occult fiction, and unsettling character studies, this novel explores grief, neglect, devotion, and what happens when the forgotten finally stop starving.

Once the spiral opens, it never truly closes.
