Katy is abducted from the train station by her HalfHumanHybrid EldritchAbomination cousin, Ricky, who wants her to fulfil her destiny and take instruction from him. ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne, especially ThePoorlyChosenOne, since she's too squeamish to kill anything without throwing up, let alone devour her own family, and Katy's life gets more complicated from there.
Meanwhile, her brother Wes has to work out whose side he's on, which isn't helped by his AddictionPowered ability to see the future. There's a fair bit of tension between Wes and Ricky, as this is an InbredAndEvil family, and the cousins have a history to navigate and old grudges to work through while trying to help Katy control her powers.

!! Synopsis
LovecraftLite meets KitchenSinkDrama in this dry, darkly funny tale of toxic families, killers and cannibals, eldritch BodyHorror and antihero female rage.
Katy Porter is the thirteenth child of a thirteenth child in an InbredAndEvil family of eldritch horrors, and her own eventual metamorphosis will change her into a creature that hungers for her family's flesh. To some, she's a threat - to others, a weapon. All Katy wants to do is finish college and go backpacking with her mates, but as her Changes creep ever closer and her protector is horribly murdered, that's not looking too likely. Unfortunately, ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne.
Katy needs allies, but she's stuck with her oldest brother, a drug-addled MillionairePlayboy AntiHero who voted to have her killed but is chaotic enough to have genuinely changed his mind, and her eyeball-eating, EldritchAbomination cousin, whose idea of protecting her involves abduction, dark rituals, and encouraging her homicidal side.
If anyone is going to survive Katy's transformation, including Katy herself, scores need to be settled and fears need to be faced - and Katy is not the only one who needs to face them.
THIRTEENTH is an eldritch family drama with a Lovecraftian twist on HANNIBAL RISING meets FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, set in East Sussex. Content Warnings for drug use, self harm, suicide ideation, references to incest, violence, gore, body horror, and strong language.
