The Weight of Fifty-Two Fingers

Body horror that sinks its teeth in.

Billie Taylor's life unravels when a painful lump grows from their hip, mutating into something sinister... A thumb? A hand. No one else can see it. Doctors are dismissive, and friends think they're losing it.

Desperate to reclaim their body, Billie enters a nightmarish realm where fingers are currency, names are erased, and ravenous souls crave an end to their suffering. To find relief, Billie must survive the feast. But, this time, fingers won't suffice. This time, the vultures want it all... And it's going to hurt.

The Weight of Fifty-Two Fingers is a gritty, surreal exploration of what it means to be consumed by a system designed to forget you. A mind-bending horror debut from Sofi Claythorn.

"Unsettling, thought-provoking, and fiercely original. It is a remarkable debut that blends body horror with sharp social commentary." — Lucy Brighton, author of Finding Home.
