A young girl’s troubled family is haunted by an entity she calls “Other Mommy” in this chilling tale from the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box.

“Deeply discomfiting, imaginatively ripe, yet ruthlessly efficient [with] claustrophobic terror that almost transcends articulation . . . Simply put—and I do not say this lightly—Incidents Around the House is the most purely effective horror novel I have ever read.”—Neil McRobert, Esquire

“This book is the monster that lives inside your closet.”—Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House

COMING SOON AS THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE OTHER MOMMY, STARRING JESSICA CHASTAIN • LOCUS AWARD FINALIST • BRAM STOKER AWARD NOMINEE

To eight-year-old Bela, her family is her world. There’s Mommy, Daddo, and Grandma Ruth. But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: “Can I go inside your heart?”

When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the question over and over, Bela understands that unless she says yes, her family will soon pay.

Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents’ marriage. The safety Bela relies on is about to unravel.

But Other Mommy needs an answer.

Incidents Around the House is a chilling, wholly unique tale of true horror about a family as haunted as their home.

This book was so good. I listened to the audio book and the narrator did a really good job. I was totally invested the whole entire time.

I’ve read a lot of books, listened to many as well but this book creeped me out. It’s one thing to watch this stuff happen in a movie but there’s just something about reading/listening to it in a book, that’s deeply unsettling in the best ways possible.

Bella has another Mommy that she refers to as “Other Mommy”. This ghosty wants to go into Bella’s heart but Bella tells her no over and over again. Other Mommy only shows herself to Bella but as time goes on, she starts getting closer and showing herself to Bella’s parents and grandma.

The family try escaping Other Mommy but that doesn’t work. Why would it?

As time progresses, Other Mommy becomes less like a friend, like Bella hoped for, and more of a monster. The author describes her perfectly and I could totally imagine what Other Mommy looked like.

Other Mommy asks Bella time and time again if she can go into her heart.

Does Bella ever say yes or stick to her guns and keep saying no?

I definitely want to read/listen to more by this author. I loved Bird Box but I unfortunately saw the movie first before I knew that it was a book.

If you like creepy haunted houses and ghosty’s who haunt children, this one may just be for you.

Some chilling campfire tales ring too true to ignore. For one young woman, an urban legend calls her into the woods in a spine-tingling short story by the bestselling author of Bird Box.

The dense Michigan forest. Haunting wails. The clip-clop of demon hooves on a bridge to nowhere. It’s more than a tall tale to Brenda Jennings, whose sister disappeared in those woods one fateful night. Three years later, on a solo stakeout in the dark, Brenda goes in after her. She’s desperate for answers, and terrified to find what lies waiting on the other side of that bridge.

Josh Malerman’s It Waits in the Woods is part of Creature Feature, a collection of devilishly creepy stories that tingle the spine and twist the mind. They can be read or listened to in one petrifying sitting.

This one was my favourite so far of the Creature Feature Collection. 

Opso is the thing in the woods but like most legends, you get people who believe it’s real and those who don’t.

Brenda’s sister Amanda went missing years before and Brenda is determined to figure out what happened to her. She doesn’t tell anyone and goes off on her own to try and find her sister but what she finds, goes far beyond her worst nightmare.

While this story is short, it packs a spine tingling punch.

I always enjoy stories with a creature, monster, something that isn’t “normal” and this one is no different.
