Publisher Description
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The author of Bird Box taps into our deepest fears with this wildly suspenseful sequel. This fast-paced, unsettling thriller is set a decade after the first book, picking up with heroine Malorie and her teenage kids. The family has managed to survive the appearance of mysterious creatures who drive humans mad by taking extreme measures and cutting themselves off from the outside world. But when they learn that Malorie’s parents may still be alive, they take a huge risk to try to find them. Malerman fills every second of this thrill ride with a palpable sense of danger—not just from the monsters but from other people too. Malorie’s relentless worry for her kids’ safety rings painfully true and is captured beautifully by award-winning narrator Cassandra Campbell. Malorie is an extraordinarily chilling listen that manages to feel eerily relatable.
