Bone Head
by Jamie Gregory
Bone Head is a sharp, unsettling look at what happens when your own bloodline becomes the biggest threat to your sanity. The story follows a protagonist trapped in the shadow of a parent whose legacy is built on violence and buried secrets. As the walls close in, the narrative forces you to confront the weight of inherited trauma and the desperate, messy ways we try to outrun our origins. The pacing is relentless, shifting between cold, calculated investigation and the raw, jagged anxiety of a girl who can no longer trust her own history. It is a suffocating, gritty experience that favors psychological tension over cheap shocks. This is for readers who prefer their thrillers dark and morally complicated, and who don't mind spending time in the headspace of a character who is constantly looking over her shoulder.
