Description
Mulholland Books presents... BREED
Alex and Leslie Twisden told each other they would do anything to have children. The price didn't matter. But the experimental procedure they found had costs they couldn't foresee.
Adam and Alice Twisden's lives seem perfectly normal. Except that, every night, without fail, their parents lock them into their rooms.
And the twins know that the sounds they can hear are not just their imagination. They're real. And they're getting louder...
From a new name in horror, BREED is a stunning thriller in the vein of Rosemary's Baby, brilliantly written, daring, and unforgettable.

Reviews / Votes
The best horror novel I've read since Peter Straub's Ghost Story. By turns terrifying and blackly funny, BREED is a total blast. * Stephen King * Stuffed with everything a good horror novel needs - feral children, a hell-for-leather chase through the streets of New York and plenty of gross-out descriptions - Breed is chilling, gruesome and deeply, darkly stylish. Best of all, it's funny. * <i>Sunday Times</i> * A page-turner, classic yet original, filled with detail both subtle and unforgettable, unnerving in its mad logic and genuinely frightening * Richard Price, author of <i>Lush Life</i> *More details
