From Blumhouse Books, a haunting thriller about a troubled married
couple whose vacation to Paris leads them into a nightmare.
"Dark and deeply disturbing. I'm still shuddering."--R.L. Stine
"An impressively compelling chiller... an ideal choice for late nights
alone." -- CultureCrypt
Mark and Steph have a relatively happy family with their young daughter
in sunny Cape Town until one day when armed men in balaclavas break in
to their home. Left traumatized but physically unharmed, Mark and Steph
are unable to return to normal and live in constant fear. When a friend
suggests a restorative vacation abroad via a popular house swapping
website, it sounds like the perfect plan. They find a genial, artistic
couple with a charming apartment in Paris who would love to come to Cape
Town. Mark and Steph can't resist the idyllic, light-strewn pictures,
and the promise of a romantic getaway. But once they arrive in Paris,
they quickly realize that nothing is as advertised. When their perfect
holiday takes a violent turn, the cracks in their marriage grow ever
wider and dark secrets from Mark's past begin to emerge.
Deftly weaving together two complex and compelling narrators, S. L. Grey
builds an intimate and chilling novel of a disintegrating marriage in
the wake of a very real trauma. The Apartment is a terrifying
tour-de-force of horror, of psychological thrills, and of haunting
suspense.
