The Nerthus House, where Jess McMachen accepts a job caring for an elderly patient, Flo, beats to the drum of dread. The walls hum with a malevolent secret, and the air whispers taunts of grotesquerie. But Jess must fight her suspicions and fear of the dark, cluttered home so she and her daughter, Izzy, can begin anew.<\/p>\n<p>However, Flo&#8217;s behavior is erratic at best and abusive at worst. And to make matters worse, Izzy seems taken with the old woman who envisions her as a deceased relative.<\/p>\n<p>Nevill doesn&#8217;t hold back on this one.\u00a0<em>The Vessel\u00a0<\/em>unfurls its fangs from the first page.
