From Edgar Award-finalist Jason Rekulak comes a wildly inventive spin on the supernatural thriller, for fans of Stranger Things and Riley Sager, about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets.

Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy.

Mallory immediately loves it. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body.

Then, Teddy’s artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force.

Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it’s too late.

From Edgar Award finalist Jason Rekulak comes a wildly creative supernatural thriller for fans of Stranger Things and Riley Sager, about a woman who babysits for a young boy with a strange and disturbing secret.

Mallory Quinn, fresh out of rehab, accepts a job as nanny for Ted and Caroline Maxwell and their five-year-old son, Teddy.

Mallory quickly fell in love with the place. She had her own living space, could go for evening runs, and had the stability she craved. She genuinely connected with Teddy. Teddy was a sweet, shy boy who never left his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings were the usual suspects: trees, bunnies, balloons. But one day, he drew something different: a man dragging the limp body of a woman through a forest.

Teddy’s drawings then become increasingly sinister, his stick figures rapidly evolving into lifelike sketches far beyond the capabilities of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are fragments of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps delivered by a supernatural force.

Despite knowing how crazy it all sounds, Mallory is determined to decipher the images and save Teddy before it’s too late.
