What to expect

Lost meets The Passage in this incredible new thriller, for all fans of The Shining Girls and Stephen King.

They're here ... The boy. The boy watch the boy watch the dead people oh Lordy there's so many ... They're coming for me now. We're all going soon. All of us. Pastor Len warn them that the boy he's not to­­--
The last words of Pamela May Donald (1961 - 2012)

Black Thursday. The day that will never be forgotten. The day that four passenger planes crash, at almost exactly the same moment, at four different points around the globe.

There are only four survivors. Three are children, who emerge from the wreckage seemingly unhurt. But they are not unchanged. And the fourth is Pamela May Donald, who lives just long enough to record a voice message on her phone. A message that will change the world.

The message is a warning.

(P)2014 Hodder & Stoughton

Critics Review

THE THREE is really wonderful. A cross between Michael Crichton and Shirley Jackson, hard to put down and vastly entertaining.

Stephen King

Sarah Lotz is a ferociously imaginative storyteller whose twisty plots will kick the stairs out from under you. She’s a talent to watch.

Lauren Beukes

The finest thriller I’ve read in years. Dark, subtle and completely unputdownable, I was enthralled from the opening line to the last.

Sarah Pinborough

Compulsive reading

Marie-Claire

Sarah Lotz has just written the perfect horror story. This will be undoubtedly one of the best horror stories published in 2014.

The Book Plank

It’s reminiscent of Stephen King’s CARRIE and THE THREE comes preloaded with praise from the master of horror himself. It deserves it: this high-concept thriller is a blast.

The Guardian

Tiptoeing the tightrope between fantasy and horror

Daily Mail

One of the finest, freakiest horror novels I’ve read.

Chuck Wendig

The author’s use of the oral-history format, with its shifting voices and points of view, is a stroke of genius: the reader is in a state of near-constant confusion at the beginning, which is slowly replaced by unease and then dread as the various commentators start to see the bigger picture. A very creepy, very effective novel.
