Sunshine darlings

in a quaint little town, everyone knows the barlows - the kind-hearted couple who run the local orphanage and win every community cook-off. their stews are the stuff of legend. their smiles, the picture of generosity.but behind the locked doors of their sprawling farmhouse, something festers. the barlows' kindness is a mask, their charity a cover for something monstrous. the children in their care whisper of sounds in the basement. of missing friends. of an auction held monthly while the children sit locked away. when lucy, an older child in the orphanage, begins to suspect the truth, she uncovers a secret so horrific it can never be forgiven. what began as whispers becomes a reckoning - and the hunted will become the hunters.the orphanage is a splatterpunk descent into small-town rot and human depravity - where kindness hides cruelty, and survival demands blood.
