Metamorphosis is a visceral and creepy horror novel, written by Ross Jeffery, and published by Truborn Press. A story that is difficult to describe, which explores the transformation caused by grief and pain, in which the main character, Cynthia, will try to bring back her lover from dead, in a novel that could be pitched as Misery meets Frankestein.

A haunting story that puts us in the skin of Cynthia, a woman immersed into a double life, a woman that once incarnated autonomy, but now, consumed by grief, is descending into the darkest paths of her psyche, trying to recover her lover through a painful and horrible remodeling process, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, dragging the reader into a visceral journey.

Jeffery catches us with a beautiful prose that, however, describes some of the most horrible parts of human mind; despite Cynthia's pain is totally relatable, the author puts us in a really complicated situation where the main character and her actions are extremely dark. The antagonist, himself, is not really somebody we would cheer for, but it is very difficult to not feel compassion for him, making you think if Cynthia is just a twisted-mind villain.

If you are not afraid to explore grief and how it is related to horror, I can totally recommend you to read Metamorphosis; as a novel itself, is a marvelous book, but you should be aware of the content warnings before. Ross Jeffery has proven again that he's a master at writing those kinds of narratives.
