There was someone in the house.
Home alone with her young children during a blizzard, a mother tucks her son back into bed in the middle of the night. Then she hears a noise - old houses are always making some kind of noise. But this sound is disturbingly familiar: it's the tread of footsteps, unusually heavy and slow, coming up the stairs...
In that split second, she has three choices.
Should she hide? Should she run? Or should she fight?

I can't remember rooting for a character quite so hard -- ABIGAIL DEAN A scalpel-sharp thriller -- NIKKI SMITH Eerily atmospheric, pulse-pounding and unputdownable -- SARAH PEKKANEN I had no idea that a story could be both so beautifully written and so unbelievably terrifying -- ALAFAIR BURKE A terrifying descent into my deepest maternal fears . . . One of the most haunting, gripping novels I've read -- KATIE GUTIERREZ You'll want to gulp it down in one sitting, if you're not too scared to turn the page! Everyone should read this book! -- LAUREN NORTH Fiercely feminist and viscerally terrifying * Kirkus Reviews *More details
