As the sun sets on a feverishly hot July evening, a young woman
spies on her teenage neighbor, transfixed by what looks like an
occult ritual intended to banish an ex-boyfriend. Alone in a new
town and desperate to expel the claustrophobic memories of her own
ex that have followed, the narrator decides to try to hex herself
free from her past. She falls in with the neighbor and her witchy
friend, exploring nascent supernatural powers as the boundaries of
reality shift in and out of focus. But when the creaks and hums of
her apartment escalate into something more violent, she realizes
that she may have brought her boyfriend's presence-whether
psychological or paranormal-back to haunt her. With astonishing
emotional depth and clarity, Disturbance explores the fallout of
abuse. Propulsive and wry, this razor-sharp debut twists witchcraft
and horror into a powerful narrative of one woman's struggle to
return to herself.
