About this listen
Originally written under the title Mother, this short story placed in the top 35 of TNT’s 2016 Horror Fiction Contest on Wattpad, selected from thousands of entries in a search for emerging voices in dark fiction.
Now revised and reimagined, Ancestral is a psychological supernatural short story about inherited darkness, emotional hunger, and the wounds passed down from one generation to the next.
When the bruises appear, a teenage girl knows what they mean. Her mother once told her stories—half warning, half confession. But some legacies don’t stay buried, and some hungers are harder to silence than others.
A quiet horror story about the ache for affection—and the monsters we sometimes become to survive.
