Progeny
AUDIOBOOK: Click here to purchase the audiobook
I never asked for a younger brother. The house smelled different after he arrived—like rot tucked into the seam of the sofa. That backpack made my skin crawl: dead rabbits, a squirrel I’d watched get flattened, a kid who could make animals move and men step backward into traffic.
They called Leo weird. I called him dangerous.
Dad called it adoption and healing. Mom called it grace. I called it trouble.
But when my mother found the journal hidden in his bag, everything changed—her discovery didn’t just hurt our family; it killed her. After that, the rules of the house shifted. Monsters started wearing familiar faces, and the man who’d taught me to trust therapists began to show his true face—hollowed, horned, and hungry.
If you think monsters live outside town, you haven’t seen what a child can raise in his basement.
Told up close and uneasy, this is the story of a brother who won’t let you sleep. When secrets, grief, and ancient devotion collide, a suburban home becomes the breeding ground for horror.

Talk about creepy. Kenya weaves an intriguing tale with twists and turns. But we know from the onset it's something wrong with Leo. I'm not one to shun kids but he'd a had to go! LOLEyeCU Reading Approved
Progeny by Kenya Moss-Dyme is a compelling story of suspense and terror. It begins with an ominous and chilling prologue, and then the intensity grows from there. You won�t want to put it down. I read it in one sitting.Kenya Moss-Dyme�s superior storytelling is on point in this story. The family�s dynamic and struggles are poignant and vivid, and the suspense and pervasive dread are gut-clenching and relentless. Just as important, though, it�s an excellent story, a fantastic little horror read that will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning the page. Highly recommended.
Whew! Leo was nothing but trouble from the jump. And let me tell you � that apple did NOT fall far from the tree, because Paul pulled a fast one on me too! ?? And don�t even get me started on Pharoah � had me fooled the whole time!Kenya Moss-Dyme did NOT disappoint with this one. The twists, the tension, the drama � I was locked in from page one. If you want a book that keeps you guessing, this is it!
Progeny is a chilling, atmospheric masterpiece! Kenya Moss-Dyme weaves a story that's both deeply unsettling and beautifully written. From the moment Leo entered the picture, I felt a growing sense of dread that never let up. The pacing is perfect � every chapter tightens the suspense and builds the mystery around Leo's true nature. Craven�s emotions felt raw and real, making it so easy to connect with him as the horror unfolds. The blend of family drama with supernatural terror reminded me of classics like The Omen but with its own fresh, modern edge. I read it in one sitting because I simply couldn�t stop. If you love horror that crawls under your skin and lingers after the last page, Progeny is a must-read. Highly recommend!
This is a short, fast-paced book with something happening on every page. Moss-Dyme takes something we've all read before but makes it fresh and engaging. Plus, there's just a splash of weird to really add an extra kick to things.
