Story
Connecticut, 1666. An ancient spirit awakens in a dark wood. The wildfolk call him Father, slayer, protector. The colonists call him Slewfoot, demon, devil. To Abitha, a recently widowed outcast, alone and vulnerable in her pious village, he is the only one she can turn to for help. Together, they ignite a battle between pagan and Puritan - one that threatens to destroy the entire village, leaving nothing but ashes and bloodshed in their wake.

Story
Ana and Reid needed a lucky break. The horrifically complicated birth of their first child has left Ana paralyzed, bitter, and struggling: with mobility, with her relationship with Reid, with resentment for her baby. That's about to change with the words any New Yorker would love to hear—affordable housing lottery. They've won an apartment in the Deptford, one of Manhattan's most revered buildings. Reid dismisses disturbing events and Ana’s deep unease and paranoia as the price of living in New York—people are odd—but he can't explain the needle-like bite marks on the baby.

Story
In a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods lives a family of three. A teenage girl who isn’t allowed outside, not after last time. A man who drinks alone in front of his TV, trying to ignore the gaps in his memory. And a house cat who loves napping and reading the Bible. An unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door, what is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all.

These people will give anything for the idols they worship, be they rock stars, actors or authors. Or even serial killers. Lori is just such a fanatic. Her obsession is with Edmund Cox, a man of sadistic cruelty who butchered more than 20 women. She’s gone so far as to forge a relationship with him, visiting him in prison and sending him letters on a regular basis. She will do anything to get close to him, so when he gives her a task, she eagerly accepts it. She has no idea of the horror that awaits her.

Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred. It’s now 1983, and home-health aide Kit McDeere arrives at a decaying Hope’s End to care for Lenora after her previous nurse fled in the middle of the night.

Publisher's Summary
Nat Cassidy’s highly commercial debut horror novel, Mary, blends Midsommar with elements of American Psycho and a pinch of I'll Be Gone in the Dark.
Mary is a quiet middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself.
But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can’t look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things.
Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. What she finds instead are visions of terrifying mutilated specters that come with increasing regularity; she begins auto-writing strange thoughts and phrases, and her investigations reveal that these experiences are echoes of an infamous serial killer.
Then the killings begin again.
Mary’s definitely going to find herself.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

Slow beginning but hooked me till the end
This story is a slow burn, with twists and turns along the way. At times I hated Mary and others I fell in love with her. Just read it.

Great story , unnecessarily long
Was such a great original story , great twists and character building but went on and on about things that could have wrapped up a lot sooner and would have still gotten the same idea .
The last bit felt like it went on forever

Too long.
Mary is an interesting story with good characterization and excellent narration. But, it is way, way too long and, in my humble opinion, needs a big, fat edit. Nevertheless, I listened and listened and listened because, if one endures all those superfluous words, it is a good story. However, as I found myself celebrating the long-awaited arrival of the final chapter... there is an epilogue that is, in my opinion, unnecessary. Then, as I found myself celebrating the end of the epilogue... there is a long-winded author's afterward that is, in my opinion, so patronizing I want to slap him. Anyway, if you can be patient with this way-too-long story that offers a different take on the horror genre, Mary is worth a credit.

what a story!
I love this story. the twists and turns were unexpected and gripping. some reviews say that the ending dragged on or that the story needs to be edited down, but I wholeheartedly disagree. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and would recommend this book to anyone looking for a ghostly, spiritual, cult horror story.

Wild in the best way
"Abuse is its own kind of reincarnation, isn’t it? We become the ones who made us.
This was wildly horrific and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Mary is invisible. At least, she seems to be to the people around her. An unassuming woman at the end of her 40's, she is struggling to deal with hot flashes, body aches, and the overall side effects of going through perimenopause. But something else is changing too; she seems to lose chunks of time, she discovers she's auto-writing things she doesn't remember, she hears voices guiding her through her days, and most of all she can't look in the mirror without fainting. When she loses her job in NYC, she is forced to move back to her hometown to care for her ailing aunt. On her journey to find herself, she ends up discovering much more than she bargained for.
On the surface this book is a riveting psychological horror story, but underneath it's so much more than that. Touching on themes such as ageism, femininity, patriarchal ideals, and (peri)menopause. I was surprised to learn the author is a man, but his foreword and afterword explains why, despite that, this book is such an accurate depiction of life as a middle aged woman.
I'm honestly glad I didn't read the whole synopsis of this one before diving in, because it surprised me at every turn. For me to enjoy an unreliable narrator, it needs to be done expertly and this book did just that. It was twisty, dark, and balls-to-the-wall weird, but in the best way. I highly recommend the audiobook as the narrator does an excellent job of bringing the story to life.
This story won't be for everyone, but it was exactly what I was looking for. If you're looking for a horrific psychological read, this is the one.
