“I love it.” – Stephen King
For fans of Stranger Things and Riley Sager, Edgar Award finalist Jason Rekulak delivers a creative take on this supernatural thriller. It tells the story of a woman who works as a nanny for a young boy who has a strange and disturbing secret.
Fresh out of rehab, Mallory Quinn starts working as a nanny for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She has to care for their five-year-old son, Teddy.
Mallory liked it immediately. She had her own living space, went out for runs at night, and had the stability she craved. She genuinely develops a close relationship with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who can never live without his sketchbook and pencils. His paintings are ordinary: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he drew something different: a man in the forest, dragging the lifeless body of a woman.
Teddy’s artwork then becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures soon evolve into lifelike sketches far beyond the capabilities of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps delivered by a supernatural force.
Mallory knows how crazy this all sounds, but he sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it’s too late.
