A short, spooky gothic-ass novella that unfolds as a plague that may be more supernatural than illness (but the two are twined together) unfolds from a woman's ship, and the darkness that's been stalking her through her life comes to her door and reaches out a hand. Gorgeous plant based imagery, and an absolutely sinister web. Absolutely worth your time.
