Voracious by Belicia Rhea Paperback Book

Description: Voracious by Belicia Rhea No one believes Lilas warnings. Sixteen years old, pregnant, and bulimic, Lila is struggling to endure daily life but is driven by her bleak, prophetic dreams that an upcoming doomsday of insect plagues will soon overtake humanity. Her fears are written off as a severe insect phobia. Lila has no friends to talk to and her boyfriend is assumed dead after going missing under mysterious circumstances. Forced into therapy by her mother, Lila recounts her panic about the insects to her therapist, who begins experiencing strangely similar symptoms. As the threat of the insects looms, Lila confesses a troubling secret, fearful of her doom amid the impending apocalypse. This book includes the title novella plus two short stories by the author.

This is absolutely unforgettable, off the charts. Wow!" -Caroline Kepnes, New York Times bestselling author of You"Belicia Rhea paints startling and masterful visions of trauma and secrets.

Never has blight and entomophobia read so gorgeously on the page." -Christa Carmen, two-time Bram Stoker-nominated author of The Daughters of Block Island"Voracious is a claustrophobic exploration of bodily autonomy, of the body as a prison. Rhea peels back the darkest corners of the mind, revealing unseen scars." -Ai Jiang, Nebula, Bram Stoker, BSFA, and Locus Award finalist, and author of Linghun and I AM AI"Belicia Rheas Voracious is a beautifully layered study of surrender to rising insanity, altered reality, and apocalyptic invasion. This is Weird fiction at its finest. Highly recommended." -Nancy Holder, winner of the Horror Writers Association Lifetime Achievement Award"Voracious is a compact knot of phobias and trauma. Rhea grips the reader by the chin and forces them to confront horrors real and imagined. A compulsively readable nightmare."-L. P. Hernandez, author of Stargazers"Claustrophobic, gritty and terrifying-with Voracious, Belicia Rhea has crafted a compelling and stomach-turning tale of psychological horror. A kickass blend of body horror, madness and apocalyptic dread. I finished it in one sitting." -Laurel Hightower, author of Below and Crossroads"Absolutely mesmerizing. Unputdownable and visceral, Voracious dug straight in and broke me open in ways I never saw coming. I loved this book." -Steph Nelson, author of The Vein and The Final Scene"If you werent scared of bugs before, you will be after reading Voracious. This novella will stick with you, laying eggs of fear that will hatch and skitter free at the sight of every fly, every moth, every screaming cicada." -Angela Sylvaine, author of Frost Bite and The Dead Spot: Stories of Lost Girls"Belicia Rheas harrowing debut novella steadily burrows into the complex interiority of womens lives and surfaces with profound insight into mental illness, trauma, and the way we live today. Like all the most powerful body horror, Voracious gets deep under your skin." -Robert Levy, author of The Glittering World and No One Dies from Love"Not for the faint of stomach, Voracious is a visceral descent into the hell of being female, where the modern meets the ancient." -Izzy Lee, writer/director of House of Ashes and author of I Can See Your Lies"Gruesome, compassionate, and unflinchingly feminist. I read it in one sitting, as disturbed as I was rapt by this unique vision of someones apocalypse." -Jaq Evans, author of What Grows in the Dark"Mesmerizing and darkly prophetic, Voracious is an apocalyptic nightmare. This novella is a horrifying and ominous depiction of grief, fear, family, and trauma. Insidious, creeping, and sure to ignite paranoia in readers, it begs to be read all in one bite." -Delaney S.
