GNAW: They hunger for what you love most.

GNAW
They take what they want.

Lucy’s life should be full of joy—two loyal dogs at her feet, a baby on the way, and a husband who makes her feel safe. In the quiet of their moss-draped Florida street, it feels like nothing could touch them.

But something already has.

It starts with watching. The squirrels linger too long in the branches, their black eyes fixed on her. Then comes the following. The testing. The way they close in, bold and unafraid.

The authorities dismiss her. Her husband thinks it’s just nerves. But Lucy knows the truth: the squirrels are organized, intelligent…and they want something only she can give them.

Unless she makes the unthinkable choice, they won’t stop until they’ve taken it.

For fans of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds and unnerving creature horror, Gnaw is a tense, unsettling short read about isolation, disbelief, and the moment survival outweighs everything else you love.
