Sweet Caroline’s is a Southern-gothic horror novella about a woman who built her life around caring for animals—and what happens when she finally has the power to deliver justice for the ones no one else ever fought for. Once a small-town pet groomer scraping by, Caroline’s luck changes overnight when an unexpected windfall makes her one of the wealthiest women in East Texas. With limitless resources and a heart shaped by years of witnessing silent suffering, she turns her fortune toward a single purpose: making sure no abused, neglected, or forgotten pet goes unanswered for ever again.
For generations, animals have vanished, suffered, or quietly endured mistreatment at the hands of those who believed no one was watching. But they were wrong. Every cruelty leaves a trail, and Caroline has the means to follow it—patiently, quietly, and with a precision that feels almost surgical. What begins as a personal mission slowly becomes something larger: a calculated, relentless pursuit of justice for the voiceless.
Caroline’s sprawling, multimillion-dollar compound becomes the control center for her crusade, a place where information is gathered, patterns are tracked, and consequences are carefully crafted. Those who have harmed animals begin to feel that someone is closing in on them—someone who knows exactly what they did and refuses to let the past stay buried.
As rumors spread and the body count rises, a strange mixture of fear and awe settles over East Texas. Some whisper that Caroline is dangerous. Others call her a hero. But everyone agrees on one thing: the age of getting away with hurting animals is over.
Blending creeping dread with the satisfaction of long-overdue retribution, Sweet Caroline’s explores what justice can look like when a woman with nothing left to lose finally gains everything she needs to fight back. Dark, sharp, and emotionally charged, this novella reminds readers that sometimes the scariest force of all is the one that stands up for the innocent.
