Sometimes I Scare Myself
by Jeneva Rose
Sometimes I Scare Myself is a collection that burrows into the uncomfortable corners of the human psyche. Jeneva Rose focuses on the jagged edges of domestic life, where the people we trust most are often the ones we should fear. The stories here rely on unreliable narrators and the crushing weight of family secrets to keep you off balance. You will not find comfort here; instead, you get a series of sharp, cynical looks at moral ambiguity and the ways our own minds can turn against us. The pacing is relentless, designed to make you question the stability of every character you meet. This is perfect for readers who prefer their thrillers dark and psychological, and who enjoy short, punchy narratives that leave a lingering sense of unease long after the final page is turned.
