✨ About the Book
Repression tells the story of Nat, a woman returning to her hometown fifteen years after the tragic death of her brother. What begins as an attempt at closure spirals into a nightmare when she becomes entangled in a new act of violence and the chilling presence of a tormented teenage spirit. As Nat delves deeper into the mystery, she uncovers disturbing truths about her past, blurring the line between the living and the dead. Filled with eerie atmospheres, emotional depth, and psychological tension, Repression explores what happens when buried secrets refuse to stay hidden and the ghosts within us demand to be heard.
