Synopsis

Three dollars. Seven wears. Everything she wants, taken from somebody else.

Lauren Kosinski has spent six years hiding her skin. On move-in day at a small college in northeast Pennsylvania, she hangs a towel over her dorm mirror before her mother has finished making the bed.

Then, in a thrift shop on a dying street, she finds a superheroine costume folded in a flat white box. A name is stitched inside the collar in faded gold thread: Starling.

The old woman behind the counter gives her the rules like she's reading a care label. It counts. It likes to be looked at. It doesn't make anything; it takes it off somebody else. Six, you can still take it off.

Nobody stops at six.

In the suit, Lauren is flawless, taller, impossible not to want. Out of it, the girl down the hall is losing her hair, the golden boy is losing himself, and the one person who liked her before is getting sicker by the week.

The costume has done this before. Lauren's mother knows exactly how it ends.

A dark, heated folk-horror novel about wanting to be seen, and what it costs everyone else.

Reader advisory: For adult readers (18+). Contains explicit sexual content, dubious consent through supernatural compulsion, body-image themes, disordered eating, death in a drunk-driving crash, non-consensual sharing of intimate video, stalking, and partner violence.
