Severance: An Erotic Horror Novella
“No one else gets this part of you.”
Book Two in The Red Night Archive.
The cabin was supposed to be a fresh start.
Tucked deep in the woods, far from neighbors and noise, it felt like the perfect place to disappear for a while.
But when they keep hearing something under the floorboards, that calm doesn’t last as long as they thought it would.
They go looking for the source of the noise and end up finding a hidden door in the basement, one that leads to something no one should ever have to see.
With their tires slashed and their phones missing, the couple quickly realizes they aren’t alone.
They’re being watched.
They were chosen.
And somewhere in the dark, two figures move together like a single, twisted heartbeat that is bound by something deeper than obsession.
Side This is an erotic horror novella. Please check your trigger warnings because this will be dark, depraved and spicy as HELL.

Not gonna lie... I got a little squeamish at a certain part. It was definitely beginning to lean into splatter punk territory. I'm not shy of gore/blood/violence but it was making me cringe. It was done well though.
And that ending? Damn. Didn't see that coming. And what do you mean TBC?? Ugh, I need to know more.

This book played out like a full-on horror movie in my head. It was dark, depraved, chaotic, and also had some comedic value mixed in, which I loved.
It also gave me a painfully abrupt reminder of why I will NEVER EVER sleep naked. 😭😂

THE PLOT TWISTS?! AMAZING. I genuinely cannot explain why without spoiling everything, so you’re just going to have to trust me. I had a handful of guesses of what I thought the ending would be, I was dead wrong on ALL accounts. So when you think you’ve got it figured out, no you don’t. 🤣
I read it in one sitting (which never happens #ADHD 😂)! The music playlist paired with the book was a PERFECT fit and genuinely elevated the experience.
I loved how funny it could be without losing the horror. I definitely cringed a time or three.

The twists were fantastic, Kitty was insane, and there were reveals that genuinely had me “WTF”ing. I’m ready for Kerrigan’s next work TODAY!! 🤩🤩
This was dark, funny, depraved, and completely unpredictable. If you like erotic horror with shock factor, isolated nighttime settings, psychos, and plot twists that make you question everything you thought you knew five minutes ago, this absolutely delivers.
Now I need the next book. Immediately!!

Okay first off Kerrigan I Love You, but WTF!! The ending you gave us is not fair at all!! I will not be patiently waiting for Part!! Severances was completely different then Overnight and I loved every second of it! This book is an Erotic Horror Novella, but it packs a punch with all the details it has!! Please please check your trigger warnings!! While some triggers don’t bother some doesn’t mean they won’t bother others.
Lena and Ben decide to go to a cabin which is in the middle of nowhere. While the both of them were expecting a nice quiet get away, they did not expect it to be the worst night of their lives. Lena hears a loud slam while laying in bed so she try’s to wake Ben up who manages to sleep right through it. When Ben goes to investigate Ben notices something off and tells Lena to come out of the bedroom and look. When she comes out she finds a hatch in the floor in the living room! They see a staircase that leads into the darkness. They chose to investigate and find something very strange and disturbing. Lena decides it’s time to go but, when they get to the car Ben notices all the tires are flat! Someone wants them to stay. Before they can get a plan together to escape an explosion of glass comes through the car. Lena is ripped out by her hair and dragged back to the cabin. The last thing Lena sees before everything goes black is Ben running to her and being knocked down by a Kitty!!

The thoughts of utter filth, degradation, sin and disgusting feral behavior are what you’ll find in this lovely novella. I say this not in bad taste, but as a warning you’re getting all the nasty that you crave with this book. Kerrigan Shane has once again blown it out of the horror genre with this erotic pitch black horror! The things she spins and is able to write about but keep you utterly hooked… I truly cannot imagine putting the book down for a moment and soak it all up in one sitting. It’s worth it to push through- you’ll be kicking your legs and screaming- probably for more than one reason by the end!
The way the story is able to twist and turn- you never know what to expect with the way she throws a curve ball you NEVER saw coming. I don’t think even a mind reader or clairvoyant could see what kind of jaw dropping twists she can manage. If you’re a fan of the feral filth, the disgusting and depraved, the absolute worst of the worst but with just enough to keep the eyes bulging and the intense heat then you have to “suffer” through this just as the characters have to suffer through it.
It’s a multi POV, 5/5 spice combo that will require a glass of wine or iced coffee to help quench your thirst as your mouth will be dry from the fact she has your jaw on the floor and you are panting through it.

Well that easily became a 5 ⭐️ read for me. This was a finish in one sitting, can't put this book down, masterpiece of horror. I came for the erotic horror and this surpassed my expectations. Kerrigan Shane, ma'am 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 that was 🔥. After reading Overnight I knew this would be another one for the top tier list. I just didn't expect that this would leave me wanting so much more, in like the very best way.
Lena and her husband Ben are going on a little getaway, to a cabin in the woods. They have some things they need to work out in their marriage and this was supposed to be the trip to solve it all. Or so they thought. Two strangers show up and drastically change their getaway.
The banter between Lena and Ben was great. It kept me laughing. Truly what marriage is like 😅. Until the entire thing turned in a Strangers esc nightmare. Then my black heart truly came alive and thrived in the blood and gore.
No more spoilers. You need to add this to the top of your list. You won't be disappointed. I will be back for whatever this author writes next 🖤🖤🖤

😭 this was absolutely unhinged.
Lena and her husband Ben head to a secluded cabin hoping for a little getaway and some time to work on their marriage… and instead end up in an actual nightmare when two masked strangers show up ready to play a very sick game.
This was fast, bloody, spicy, and GORY. There were definitely a few moments where even I was like 😳🤢 and I can handle a lot lol. Kitty is completely psychotic and Daddy?? Yeahhhh… unfortunately I have questions 👀😂
But THAT PLOT TWIST?! I genuinely did not see it coming. And then you’re just gonna end it like THAT and expect me to patiently wait for more?! RUDE.
If you like erotic horror, masked psychos, gore, fucked up games and twists that make you go WTF—read this. Just check your triggers first because Severance does NOT play nice. 🩸🔪

ARC Read & Review⭐️. That was insane. Please give me more immediately.
There was so much violent, dark, action packed chaos in this quick novella that I could not put it down. All I kept thinking was, oh my lawwdddd… where is this going next?
I can’t say I’m surprised that this was another beautifully crafted erotic horror by @author.kerriganshane . I was completely immersed from beginning to end and felt every emotion so vividly. That lingering, unsettled feeling it left me with was absolute perfection, it’s exactly what I hope for every time I pick up this genre.
Kerrigan your erotic horror is 🤌🖤 thank you so much for the opportunity to ARC read I cannot wait to see where you are going to take us next!
The themes in this one are dark and heavy, so here’s your classic Madame S. Kaye reminder: ⚠️trigger warnings first, chaos later⚠️

Kerrigan did it again with this book! This was so good that I devoured it in no time and now I’m left STARVING to know what happens next!!! The deranged psychopath that Kitty is, had my jaw on the floor and couldn’t pick it back up the whole time. I questioned my own sanity when I giggled at Kitty and her craziness. Using intestines like a cat playing with yard 😱 Lena most definitely has psychopathic tendencies if you ask me or it could just be ✨trauma, but there is definitely something buried deep inside of her somewhere. Please check your triggers because this book is dark…dark,dark! If you have no triggers and read them like a dinner menu then this book is absolutely for you! Kerrigan girl, I’m gonna need some more here! 😉

Que Kitty and Daddy. Idk about you, but Daddy sounds hot af, definitely my kind of psycho, if only he could be more unhinged which I can see happening in the next book😮💨 and Kitty? Complete psychopath! All because of something that accidentally happened in her past.
Can’t say much because it’ll be spoilers, but just know this was so good! Can’t wait for the next book!!
Please check the trigger warnings.
Thank you Kerrigan Shane for the ARC🫶🏼

This had me pulling a face through most of it
Wow I was grossed out through alot of that, check those triggers!!! It is pitch black for a reason
I felt like I was in a horror movie through that, there is no redeeming qualities in these characters Kitty and Daddy are complete psychos
Lena and Ben go on a cabin getaway, for a fresh start and you guessed it, it isn't the relaxing time away they were expecting. After being woken up with a sudden noise they go to investigate and once finding a hidden room they decide to bolt for it, only to find out they can't get away
If you like gore, horror, pitch black with plenty of triggers then definitely check this out, this author always knows how to throw a twist or 2 into her books that always have me coming back for more

Now this was perfection.
The blood. The gore. That ending?!?!?! I need more of Lena's story immediately.
This is a dark, twisted novella that I absolutely inhaled. I finished it in about an hour because once I started, there was no putting it down. Every chapter had me thinking, what the actual fuck is happening?!
This is only my second book by Kerrigan Shane, but consider me a fan. The writing is addictive, the pacing is relentless, and somehow she packs so much into such a short book.
I don't usually read trigger warnings because I have very few, but if you do have triggers, I'd definitely recommend checking them before diving in.
10/10. No notes. Bring on the next one.
5 ⭐

Okay this may be a bit long but please stay with me.
This book right here..... had me feeling so many emotions. If you are a fan of Kerrigan's writing, this will be right up your alley.
This book took so many turns and twists i think a may have gotten whiplash. The writing was phenomenal, the characters were so pronounced that there was no questions as to what was happening.
Kitty and Daddy were as twisted as I thought they would be, but th he ending truly left me kind of shocked. This is a book that had me clutching my pearls the entire time. I questioned life choices, but kept going.
Let's get ready for part 2!!!

Shut the fuck up right now. That was so good.
This is my second Kerrigan Shane book and let me tell you twisted is her specialty.
Lena and Ben are just trying to get away for the weekend and everything goes wrong so very quickly. Funny how your past can sneak up on you. You think you know where it’s going .. you don’t. I am so hoping that there will be more to this story.
Comparing this to overnight this one definitely had more plot and less spice; but it was so good! I am a reader that needs answers, if a book has a cliff hanger ending I am immediately opening up the next book. This did end with a cliff hanger but not rage bait so thanks for that haha.
August 9, 2026
This was a wild ride, but a fun and short one! The action starts on page 3 and never stops!!
So anyway, Ben and Lena, a married couple, go to a secluded cabin on a vacation.
We meet Daddy and Kitty who have some fun planned for the couple.
They hear a noise and notice the basement hatch open and neither of them left it open. Lena lets Ben talk her into investigating. Running right into the trouble in typical horror movie fashion!
The twists and turns in this book are unexpected. I enjoyed this novella and would recommend checking your triggers before diving in!

Holy f*ckballs and in the name of all that is left of my sanity what did I just read.
This book was the best kind of self torture. I honestly feel personally targeted by the author. I can read pretty much anything but this book lives up to the horror genre- it knew exactly how to riddle me with anxiety about things that go "bump" in the night and how to make me want to vomit with how immersive the writing is - and still I kept reading. I just couldn't help myself.
This plot twists. The fear. The way I now can't sleep. THE CLIFFHANGER. I cannot wait for the next instalment!

KERRIGAN SHANE HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!
I’m not even sure what I just read… but I know I NEED MORE!!
Definitely check your trigger warnings before jumping into this one because there are some seriously tough and heavy moments. Some literal stomach turning moments But whew—the way this story had me completely hooked!
And then… THAT TWIST?! THAT ENDING?! 🤯 I was NOT prepared. My jaw is still on the floor, and now I’m just sitting here wondering how I’m supposed to patiently wait for the next book?!
Kerrigan Shane, I need answers. Immediately.

This was amazing! Refreshing read after being all d1cked out by my previous read 🤣 @author.kerriganshane
This had such a good balance of spice and gore! I loved it! Only 114 pages but so much happened
I do have one question and hopefully it's answered in the next book (I'll add it to the end just in case)
Ben and Lena were so cute together, I loved the bickering ahaha
“Go on then. March your ass out there and tell the raccoon to kindly fuck off."
My question is:
Did he?! Or didn't he?!
I can't wait for the next one!!

KERRIGAN. WHAT. THE. FUCK. 😭🖤
I just absolutely DEVOURED Severance and holy shittttt, this was deliciously dark, gloriously gory and exactly the kind of fucked up little treat I wanted.
And THAT PLOT TWIST?!
Excuse me while I sit here staring into the void because I was NOT fucking prepared. 😭
The darkness. The gore. The chaos. The what the actual fuckery. Absolute perfection.
Another Kerrigan book inhaled like my life depended on it and now I’m left feral, satisfied and already demanding the next instalment.

"Severance” by Kerrigan Shane is a gory 5-star read! Lena and her husband, Ben, go away for some quiet time in a cabin off the beaten path. That turns out to be a terrible idea, as it is anything but quiet!
Lena, Kitty, and Daddy each take their turn telling the story from their own perspective. This is a quick and bloody read! If you read the first book, then you should be fine with this one. If you are new to this author, you definitely need to check the trigger warnings.
There is a twist that I was not expecting, and I am not happy at all that this one ends with a To Be Continued...
While I wait for the next book, I think I will go back and read The Fickle Lark Trilogy.
Thanks to Kerrigan Shane for providing me with the opportunity to read this ARC and share my honest review.

While I wait for the next book, I think I will go back and read The Fickle Lark Trilogy.
Thanks to Kerrigan Shane for providing me with the opportunity to read this ARC and share my honest review.

well that was a crazy quick journey. I love good shorter stories where you can read it in one sitting. this had a twist I don’t think any of us saw coming which was unique to this genre.
I think a backstory on Kitty and Daddy would be a fun ride as well. I’m excited that the next installment will be what happened to Lena.
All I do have to say is Ben didn’t deserve all that necessarily but umm maybe you should listen to your girlfriend.
She’s another instant buy author.

Kerrigan went and did it again! Another twisted dark, quick read. The way she can tell a story and not falter and have a the twist at the end is amazing. The detail in the gore paired with the dark storytelling is so smooth I couldn’t put it down! This story has 4 POVS and seeing every side of this story and being able to hear their thoughts is exactly what it needed to get the plot moving. Lena the FMC is a fearless and strong willed FMC and I cannot wait to read the next book!!

I really enjoyed this book. Not as much as Overnight by this author but it was still good. It wasn’t as heavy as I thought it would be but i was still like WTF lol . This author actually got me wanting to read more horror eroticas so what does that say about me ?? Lol Now when it came to the plot twist , my head literally blew up because WTF lol. Then of course we get to the end and it’s a GOTDAMN CLIFFHANGER !!!! I need book 2 because I feel like it’s REALLY gon kick off .

This was fucking grotesque. And I mean that as a compliment.
Severance is a solid 4.5 stars. The opening break-in and chase had some genuinely heart-pounding tension and suspense, and once the horror really started horror-ing, she did not hold back. There were scenes that made me physically recoil. Kitty and the eyeball? I fucking gagged. Actually gagged.
Kerrigan Shane has officially earned herself a spot on my “read everything she writes” list.

Well heck…
I did not see any of that coming 😳
I am still laying here in shock.
Gore ✅
Creep factor ✅
Terror ✅
Horror ✅
I read the entire book at once without stopping
& I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. From screaming at Lena to run, to calling Ben an idiot to giggling with Kitty and blushing for Daddy…
Yeah. I highly recommend this one !!

Where do I even start! This is one hundred percent an absolutely brilliantly unhinged book! I laughed, cringed, gasped, and may have thrown up in my mouth a little bit! And I LOVED every single bit of it! The plot twist was just so perfect, I didn’t see it coming. Strap in and get ready for a crazy, dark and delicious read! She’s short but packs a punch!

Thank you Kerrigan for writing another amazing book! Can’t wait for the next one!
