What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

“Simply put–and I do not say this lightly–Incidents Around the House is the most purely effective horror novel I have ever read.”–Neil McRobert, Esquire A chilling horror novel about a haunting, told from the perspective of a young girl whose troubled family is targeted by an entity she calls “Other Mommy,” from the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box “This book is the monster that lives inside your closet.”–Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House LOCUS AWARD FINALIST - BRAM STOKER AWARD NOMINEE To eight-year-old Bela, her family is her world. There’s Mommy, Daddo, and Grandma Ruth. But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: “Can I go inside your heart?” When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the question over and over, Bela understands that unless she says yes, her family will soon pay. Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents’ marriage. The safety Bela relies on is about to unravel. But Other Mommy needs an answer. Incidents Around the House is a chilling, wholly unique tale of true horror about a family as haunted as their home.
