Forty Days of September

by F.N. Reinhardt

Genre: Psychological/Body Horror

She arrived broken. Can she leave reborn?

After twenty-five years of surviving a life marked by addiction and tragedy, she has finally reached her breaking point. Ravaged by self-loathing and in the turbulent throes of detox, she wakes up on a bus bound for Celestial Healing, a mysterious rehabilitation center isolated deep in the rugged hills of Tennessee.

But something is wrong with this sanctuary. White halls shift into never-ending corridors. The seasons transform without warning. And the staff bear an uncanny resemblance to legends of old.

Searching for answers, she turns to the last person she expected to trust: a fellow patient decaying before her eyes. Together, they unravel the secrets of Celestial Healing—and the truth of where they really are.

Steeped in mythology and bathed in the waters of forgiveness, Forty Days of September is a story of addiction, recovery, and love. At its heart lies a question far more difficult than escaping Celestial Healing:

Who really judges us in the end?

Perfect for fans of the dark, unforgiving atmosphere of Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House and the mind-bending, institutional suspense of Shutter Island, Forty Days of September is a raw, uncompromising speculative fiction journey through the ruins of trauma toward the dawn of redemption.
