You'd kill to be someone else. She already has.
Marlene Thorne is invisible. At thirty-four, she works the night shift at a storage unit facility, eats gas station burritos alone, and can't remember the last time someone looked at her twice. Her mirror is covered with a sheet.
Then she discovers Unit 237.
Inside: a freezer. Inside that: a body. The body belongs to Kira Voss, a "Love Island" influencer with 2.3 million followers. But this body is heavier, older, discarded. Kira has found a ritual that lets her shed her old selves like snakeskin-and she stores the remains in Marlene's facility.
Marlene doesn't call the police. She unzips the oldest body and steps inside.
For the first time in her life, she is beautiful. She is seen. Kira discovers the theft but isn't angry-she's relieved. She offers Marlene a deal: wear the discarded bodies, keep them "alive," and Kira will pay her.
But the skins remember. They whisper Kira's hungers, her fears, her endless desperate need for attention. Layers begin to blur. The scar on Marlene's thigh becomes a smiling mouth. And deep in the freezer, hidden behind newer bodies, the original Kira-the one who started it all-is still waiting to be worn home.
Skin Suite is a razor-sharp horror novel for readers of The Eyes Are the Best Part, Maeve Fly, and anyone who's ever wondered what they'd sacrifice to finally be seen.
