Follow the Rites...
Nothing less than the survival of humanity is at stake.
From Marcus Kliewer, a new “titan of the macabre and unsettling” (Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author), comes an eerie supernatural horror about a young woman who accepts a caretaking job from Craigslist, only to discover the position has consequences far greater—and more dangerous—than she ever could have imagined.
EXCITING OPPORTUNITY:
Caretaker urgently needed. Three days of work. Competitive pay. Serious applicants ONLY.
Macy Mullins can’t say why the job posting grabbed her attention—it had the pull of a fisherman’s lure, barbed hook and all—vaguely ominous. But after an endless string of failed job interviews, she's not exactly in the position to be picky. She has rent to pay, groceries to buy, and a younger sister to provide for.
Besides, it’s only three days’ work…
Three days, cooped up in a stranger’s house, surrounded by Oregon Coast wilderness.
What starts as a peculiar side gig soon becomes a waking nightmare. An unspeakable evil may dwell on this property—and Macy Mullins might just be the only thing standing between it, and the rest of humanity.

Pretty good for 2016
Kept me wanting more fast. Very weird with the vision of the maggots please don’t eat and read this one lol. Crazy turns, Macy been through a lot of trauma. But kept me glued!
fantastic
the build up was great, also the pacing and chapter lengths lead me to just keep reading more and more.
Real horror. My first Apple Books review.
I’ve read lots of “Horror” novels. Many of them have horror fantastic themes, great books with great writing and I try to read them around Halloween to really set the mood. However, this is the first book I’ve ever read that actually immersed me in a sense of dread, that feeling like watching a horror movie, knowing something awful is coming but not exactly sure what so the muscles in your neck get tight and you becoming hyper aware of your breathing, maybe even turn all of the lights in the house on because obviously a 10watt “soft glow” LED bulb will fend off the evil coming for you. Reader beware…
