In the "fast-paced, frightening" (The New York Times Book Review)
sequel to Bird Box, the inspiration for the record-breaking Netflix
film starring Sandra Bullock, ** bestselling author Josh Malerman brings
unseen horrors to life.**
NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD - "Malorie is even more of a
psychological thriller than Bird Box, and all the scarier for
it."--The Wall Street Journal
Twelve years after Malorie and her children rowed up the river to
safety, a blindfold is still the only thing that stands between sanity
and madness. One glimpse of the creatures that stalk the world will
drive a person to unspeakable violence.
There remains no explanation. No solution.
All Malorie can do is survive--and impart her fierce will to do so on
her children. Don't get lazy, she tells them. *Don't take off your
blindfold. AND DON'T LOOK.
*
But then comes what feels like impossible news. And with it, the first
time Malorie has allowed herself to hope.
Someone very dear to her, someone she believed dead, may be alive.
Malorie has already lost so much: her sister, a house full of people who
meant everything, and any chance at an ordinary life. But getting her
life back means returning to a world full of unknowable horrors--and
risking the lives of her children again.
Because the creatures are not the only thing Malorie fears: There are
the people who claim to have caught and experimented on the creatures.
Murmerings of monstrous inventions and dangerous new ideas. And rumors
that the creatures themselves have changed into something even more
frightening.
Malorie has a harrowing choice to make: to live by the rules of survival
that have served her so well, or to venture into the darkness and reach
for hope once more.
