NO ONE ELSE IN HERE
Coming May 18, 2027 with Union Square
A woman returns to her childhood home to find a house of living nightmares in the Edgar Award-nominated author’s spine-chilling, reality-blurring adult debut.
Shirley never wanted to live in the house where her father murdered her mother. For the moment, though, her husband and her don’t have much of a choice. They just have to stay there until her husband finishes renovating their new home.
But in the dark, the house reverts to the nightmare house of her childhood. Unsettling dreams follow her into her waking hours. Her husband is increasingly aloof and strange. Food, wine, time keep going missing. Things go bump in the night. Shirley begins to wonder: could there be someone else in the house?
“A harrowing descent into madness. NO ONE ELSE IN HERE is a terrifying, razor-sharp thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, leaving you to question even your own sanity.”
