The Abuse of Ashley Collins

Ashley Collins, a sixteen-year-old girl, has severe behavioral issues. Every rule is broken. Every line is crossed. Every day at home is filled with anger and hatred. And when Ashley goes too far, her parents—Logan and Jane—decide to push back.

They lock her in their basement with the intention of 'teaching' her through acts of discipline.

But discipline quickly gives way to cruelty. And cruelty unlocks the door to utter depravity.

This is a story of family and dysfunction. This is a story of discipline and trauma. This is the story of Ashley Collins' abuse.

With this 2026 re-release, Jon Athan, the author of The Groomer and Are Your Parents Home?, delivers a new and improved edition of his original vision of grim, gruesome, grindhouse horror. What are your neighbors hiding?
