A mother and son with a strained relationship inherit a house following the sudden death of a family member with a violent past. When the son moves his bedroom into the basement, he starts to experience unexplainable and terrifying phenomena. After he uncovers a dark secret concealed within the house, they quickly learn that some truths are better left a mystery. Can they overcome their differences in order to survive, or will the darkness overcome them both?

Critic reviews

"Horrors abound in this unnerving and challenging debut novella by Joshua Marsella. Scratches shines a light on what makes monsters of men and women, deftly revealing that the robbing of innocences has life changing and life destroying consequences." (Ross Jeffery, Bram Stoker-nominated author)

What a great listen

From the narrator to the characters, I loved every piece of the story, as a kid that slept in a basement room and had an overactive imagination, the author captures the dread of being alone in a creepy cellar perfectly. The fear and anxiety of being in a home that caused you trauma is captured perfectly in the mom. This was great and I am looking forward to book 2

Excellent debut

A fantastic creepy little story, and a great debut from an author I'll definitely be following.

Love it!

So many great twists and turns, and clever misdirection! It absolutely kept me on my toes and I loved every minute of it.
