Overview
From the acclaimed author of Every House Is Haunted comes a terrifying supernatural novel about a family desperate for a new beginning, a dwelling with something already waiting inside—and the horrors we carry home with us.
The Bennetts need a fresh start. After a devastating year leaves Jack badly injured, Laura’s career in ruins, and teenage Jessica expelled from school, the family packs up their lives and moves into a brand-new house amid a quiet suburban development. It should be the perfect place to begin again…until twelve-year-old Stanley discovers the strange stain spreading across his bedroom wall.
Soon Jack is losing time and witnessing impossible things. Laura is stalked by a frightening creature no one else can see. Jessica begins losing control in ways that echo the violent incident she thought she’d left behind. And Stanley’s fears about his own health take on increasingly alarming manifestations. Each of them keeps what they’re experiencing a secret, even as the family dynamic starts unraveling. Because whatever has found the Bennetts knows exactly where their deepest wounds are buried. And as the inhuman terror closes in, they must discover what is haunting them before the one thing they came here to save—the bond that ties them together—is destroyed for good.
