“I loved it.” – Stephen King
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.
