What to expect

From the bestselling storyteller Orson Scott Card comes a gripping story of terror within a small town.

Step Fletcher, his pregnant wife DeAnne, and their three children move to Steuben, North Carolina, with high hopes. But Step’s new job with a software company turns out to be a snake pit, and eight-year-old Stevie’s school is worse, an unending parade of misery and disaster. As Stevie retreats into himself, focusing more and more on a mysterious computer game and a growing troop of imaginary friends, the Fletchers’ concern turns to terror. There is something eerie about his loyal, invisible new playmates: each shares the name of a child who has recently vanished from the sleepy Southern town. And as evil strikes out from the most trusted corners, it’s suddenly clear that Stevie is next on the list.

Critics Review

“The pull of family drama with an overlayer of rising supsense.”

Publishers Weekly

“Stefan Rudnicki finds a voice for each of the main characters, capturing the personalities of the children as well as the adults…Rudnicki draws on the intensity of the characters' emotions, adding a compelling edge to the suspense.”

AudioFile

“For Stephen King fans and those who like their suspense mixed with the supernatural.”

Library Journal

“Affecting, genuine, poignant, uplifting: a limpid, beautifully orchestrated new venture from an author already accomplished in other fields.”
