A Child Alone with Strangers : A Novel EPUB

';Fracassi's novel hits me like a cross between McCammon and 80s King. Might be one of them summer blockbusters readers love.' Laird Barron, author ofWorse Angels

A Child Alone with Strangersstarts out as a slow burn procedural with supernatural elements and inexorably cranks itself into a pulse-pounding symphony of eldritch horrors and all-too-human violence. Philip Fracassi is the best sort of horror writer--one who is unafraid to hunt for light in even the darkest places. Shaun Hamill, author ofA Cosmology of Monsters
