Notes From Your Bookseller

Clay Chapman’s books have a way of making you hold your breath. Grief and loss are common themes in fiction, but put in the hands of Chapman and the world goes even more out of balance — exactly what you want in a horror novel.

A skeptical palm reader returns to Virginia’s Tidewater and is drawn into an old flame’s obsessive search for his missing son in this haunting Southern Gothic tale of supernatural terror, parental grief, and the terrifying lengths we’ll go for our children.

“Packed with profoundly unsettling scenes that’ll slither under your skin and stay there long after you turn the last page.” —Gabino Iglesias, author of The Devil Takes You Home
