<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Sydney's spent years burying her past and building a better life for herself and her eleven-year old son. A respectable marketing job, a house with reclaimed and sustainable furniture, and a boyfriend who loves her son and accepts her, flaws and all. But when she opens her front door and a masked intruder knocks her briefly unconscious, everything begins to unravel. She wakes in the hospital and tells a harrowing story of escape. Of dashing out a broken window. Of running into her neighbors' yard and calling the police. What the cops tell her is that she can no longer trust her memories. Because they say that not only is the intruder lying dead in her guest room, but he's been murdered in a way that seems intimately personal. When she returns home, Sydney can't shake the deep darkness that hides in every corner. There's an unnatural whisper in her ear, urging her back to old addictions. And as her memories slowly return, she begins to fear that her new life was never built on solid ground-and that the secrets buried beneath will change everything"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From an electrifying voice in horror comes the haunting tale of a woman whose life begins to unravel after a home invasion. </b> <p/><b>"Marino offers horrors both existential and visceral.

A respectable marketing job, a house with reclaimed and sustainable furniture, and a boyfriend who loves her son and accepts her, flaws and all. <p/>But when she opens her front door, and a masked intruder knocks her briefly unconscious, everything begins to unravel. <p/>She wakes in the hospital and tells a harrowing story of escape. Of dashing out a broken window. Of running into her neighbors' yard and calling the police. <p/>The cops tell her a different story. Because the intruder is now lying dead in her guest room--murdered in a way that looks intimately personal. <p/>Sydney can't remember killing the man. No one believes her. <p/>Back home, as horrific memories surface, an unnatural darkness begins whispering in her ear. Urging her back to old addictions and a past she's buried to build a better life for herself and her son. <p/>As Sydney searches for truth among the wreckage of a past that won't stay buried for long, the unquiet darkness begins to grow. To change into something unimaginable. <p/>To reveal terrible cravings of its own. <p/><b>"Admirers of the works of Tana French, Megan Abbott, and Zoje Stage will devour this book." --<i>Booklist</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Perfect for those who have found psychological thrillers to be a gateway drug into appreciating the world of horror." <br> --<i><b>CrimeReads</b></i><br><br>"Admirers of the works of Tana French, Megan Abbott, and Zoje Stage will devour this book."--<i><b>Booklist</b></i><br><br>"Marino offers horrors both existential and visceral.
