This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

It's not a costume. It's a parasite. And it's HUNGRY.

Daniel isn't looking for trouble—just a distraction. A quiet house. A fading marriage. A hollow life. So when he finds a scorched, half-melted box at a garage sale, he buys it without thinking.

Inside is a mouse costume: filthy, matted, and far too warm to the touch. It whispers his name. It remembers the last man who wore it. A man who vanished without a trace.

Now... the scratching won't stop. The heat under Daniel's skin keeps rising. The dreams are getting darker. And the costume? It doesn't come off. Because it was never meant to be worn. It was meant to... BECOME.

As reality blurs with nightmare, Daniel can't tell what's real or delusion. The boundaries between him and the costume dissolve, trapping him in a waking hallucination where truth and fantasy merge—threatening everything he once loved.
