A terrifying modern gothic!
After months of physical therapy following a traumatic accident, ceramic artist Hesper Dunn abandons the city life of Chicago for the enchanted deserts of New Mexico, only to find her new home is haunted by more than just the ghost she brought with her.
A brokenhearted artist watches her through the mirrors, and a malicious shadow child stalks her by night and day. Darkness swallows her up, and Hesper is running out of time to find the light. As chaos and madness eat away at her, Hesper clings to the love of her husband as the last bulwark against the darkness, but there's something wrong with Richard, too. Something hiding....
From the author of Hold My Place, Idle Hands, and Ghost Girls and Rabbits comes her most terrifying tale yet, a story of grief and guilt, of love and obsession that weaves the enchantment of the southwestern American desert, the romance-rich symbolism of the Middle Ages, and the magical thinking of mourning into a horror no reader will soon forget.
