ITCH! by Gemma Amor
Something moves on the forest floor...
Josie is at rock bottom, living a haunted existence after returning to her isolated hometown on the edge of the Forest of Dean.
When she stumbles across a decaying, ant-infested body in the woods, Josie plummets into a downward spiral, facing uncomfortable truths about the victim and her own past - all whilst battling an infestation that seems to have burrowed into her mind... and her flesh.
Desperate for absolution, Josie scratches the surface of an age-old mystery- a masked predator stalks the forest around Ellwood, a place deeply gripped by folklore. So, as the village prepares for its annual festival and Josie gets closer to unveiling a monster, she begins to ask herself:
Are these dark crawling insects leading her to uncover the truth?
Or is she their next victim?
