About
The Body is a pulse-pounding supernatural horror story from bestselling author Bethany C. Morrow, where one woman must survive a series of bizarre and escalating attacks on her marriage.
Mavis broke from her parents' congregation years ago, but she still hasn't recovered. Their impossible expectations and soul-shredding critiques have dug deep into her mind, and she's taunted by the knowledge that even when she's done nothing wrong, she'll never be right.
Now Mavis is afraid she's about to lose the only thing she has: her husband, Jerrod. The man she's always known was too good to be true. No one thinks she deserves him-not even after surviving the serial cheater they wanted her to stick by-and soon they'll all find out they were right.
Mavis is already unraveling when a brush with death shows her what real fear looks like. Soon, she's under constant attack from all directions. As the assaults turn increasingly vicious and bizarre, Mavis realizes that Hell isn't reserved for the afterlife.
And sinner or not, no one is coming to save her.

"Nesta Cooper narrates this unsettling horror audiobook. Mavis is injured in a car accident, and before she has time to fully heal, she's attacked, and she can't help but feel targeted. Despite leaving her congregation years ago, the pressure for perfection from her church and parents still lingers, and these brushes with violence seem impossibly connected. Cooper immediately connects with Mavis's desperate fear, keeping listeners on edge as Mavis fights to keep herself from unraveling. And as Mavis struggles with the feeling that she isn't good enough for her husband, Cooper's depiction is undeniably authentic and heart-wrenching.
Cooper's emotional narration carries listeners through this slow-paced, highly introspective horror."
