Sailor Rook is no longer a child, but her teenage years will stretch on for a few more years. And she hasn't had a good start. At her old school, she was bullied for no reason, but with relentless cruelty. One day, however, the girl responsible for it suddenly disappears. Now, Sailor is suspected of being involved. Ultimately, her parents see no other option but to move to another place somewhere in New Hampshire to give their traumatized daughter a fresh start. But it's not just the malicious gossip that has followed them this far. In the dark, dense forests of New England, something else, something ancient, is lurking for Sailor. In Scott Snyder's latest horror epic, it's not just about the scares themselves; the horror runs much deeper. It's a story about fears and guilt.
