A woman wakes inside a private wellness facility with no memory of how she arrived-and a growing certainty that something is wrong.
The halls are quiet.
The language is gentle.
The care feels conditional.
As she is encouraged to comply, recover, and remain calm, the walls begin to respond-not violently, but attentively. Rooms feel smaller. Words carry weight. Silence becomes a form of architecture. And the more she notices, the more the institution insists she is mistaken.
When she is released, the building disappears-but the system does not.
Beneath is a modern queer gothic horror novel inspired by The Yellow Wallpaper, where the true terror is not madness, but credibility. Blending psychological horror, institutional dread, and subtle paranormal unease, the novel explores how control hides behind care, how language is used to erase lived experience, and how survival itself can become dangerous.
Written with deliberate structural unease-short chapters, fractured pacing, and destabilizing white space-Beneath is not designed to comfort. It is designed to haunt.
For readers of literary horror, psychological suspense, and queer gothic fiction.
