Eat, Pray, Love goes full Lovecraft in this queer, feel-good cosmic horror that reflects on gaslighting and emotional abuse.

Lemon, poppy seed, sun-warmed sand. These visions convince Aoife to quit her job, leave her manipulative boyfriend, and escape to the isolated shores of the Farmstead commune. There, among its charismatic and hedonistic residents, Aoife finds everything she's been missing: a community that adores her, the freedom to indulge, and the promise to be a part of something miraculous.

But darkness underpins her airy new way of life. A disappearing cave looms above an ocean no one dares step foot in, mysterious crying fills the night hours, and a rot is spreading across the island. But perhaps most concerning is the commune's reverence for their leader, Jonah--a love tinged with fear that Aoife knows all too well.

When Aoife's boring old life comes crashing into her bold new one, loyalties are tested, unleashing a spiral of unspeakable violence that threatens to fracture reality itself. At the helm, Aoife finds herself desperately trying to protect everyone and everything she's grown to love. Awkward, clumsy Aoife, who was always told she was weak, will soon realize the depths of her strength--and the pleasures of her rage.
