“The new face of literary dark fiction.” ― Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

"The buzz... is real. I've read it and was blown away. It's a true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end." ― Stephen King

In a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods lives a family of three.

A teenage girl who isn’t allowed outside, not after last time.
A man who drinks alone in front of his TV, trying to ignore the gaps in his memory.
And a house cat who loves napping and reading the Bible.

An unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door, what is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all.
