They Synopsis
It doesn’t wait for your teeth to fall out—it takes them.
The Tooth collector is a body horror dental nightmare that will leave you cringing through every page.
After losing his wife and left to fend alone for his two boys, Tim grapples with the struggles of single fatherhood. And when his last born loses his first tooth, he is over the moon. Tim doesn’t think twice before exchanging it for a dollar underneath the little boy’s pillow.Â
But something sinister watches from the dark corners of the room, waiting to collect its due.
And when his boy starts losing more teeth than he should, Tim is thrown into a frenzy. He doesn’t believe in the unseen… until he sees its grotesqueness face to face. More teeth go missing by the day, and Tim must to protect his family.
But how do you protect your family against pure evil?
Body Horror and Nightmare Themes Explored in 'The Tooth Collector'
Horror fans drawn to body horror, folk horror, and psychological terror will find The Tooth Collector disturbingly unforgettable. This body horror dental nightmare comes with grotesque imagery reminiscent of Junji Ito’s macabre storytelling and the creeping dread of The Ritual by Adam Nevill, blending folklore with flesh. It explores grief, fear of the unknown, desperation, and unsettling supernatural folklore—all wrapped in a horrifying legend that lingers in the dark.
Like Paul Tremblay’s psychological nightmares (The Cabin at the End of the World), this story leaves readers questioning reality. Fans of Clive Barker’s visceral horror (Books of Blood) will appreciate the grotesque detail and raw terror. If you enjoy gruesome horror books with deep psychological scars, The Tooth Collector will leave its mark—one tooth at a time.
