Description: "A book that demands to be read in a single sitting, and through the cracks between one's fingers. There has never been a horror story quite like this. Josh Malerman truly delivers." -- Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of Wool "Hitchcockian. . . a notably strong study of modern psychological terror." -- USA Today "This completely compelling novel contains a thousand subtle touches but no mere flourishes-it is so well, so efficiently, so directly written I read it with real admiration. Josh Malerman does the job like a fast-talking, wised-up angel." -- Peter Straub "[A] chilling debut . . . Malerman. . . keeps us tinglingly on edge with his cool, merciless storytelling [and] douses his tale in poetic gloom....An unsettling thriller, this earns comparisons to Hitchcock's The Birds, as well as the finer efforts of Stephen King and cult sci-fi fantasist Jonathan Carroll." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The author uses understatement and allusion to create a lean, spellbinding thriller that Stephen King fans will relish." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
