"Once again, Josh Malerman has knocked it out of the park; his new book, Incidents Around the House, is a master class in terror. This is horror done so well that it'll make your skin crawl. It's a haunting exploration of the perils of childhood, and a story that will stay with you for a long time to come. . . . Highly, highly recommended." --Gwendolyn Kiste, Lambda Literary and Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Reluctant Immortals and The Rust Maidens "This book is so original that it's hard to describe: It deserves more than to be called chilling; it deserves more than to be characterized as a work rich in the infectious fears of childhood. These things are both true, but Josh Malerman is a creative genius, and in a child's forthright voice he has written a masterwork of unadorned, existential terror." --Zoje Stage, USA Today bestselling author of Baby Teeth "This book does worse than stay with you--it stalks you. Page-turning, nerve-burning discomfort claws inside. Don't read after dark. Incidents Around the House will make you a child again, and you'll remember being small and afraid." --Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth and A Light Most Hateful "Josh Malerman is such an insidious architect: I call all of his haunted houses home. Incidents Around the House might just be his most devilish design yet. Not since Anne Rivers Siddons's The House Next Door has the very blueprint of a possessed piece of property bled into my subconscious, reconfiguring where the house ends and the haunting truly begins. It turns out I'm the one who's haunted now." --Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters "You can't read this one at night, turn out the lights, and go to sleep. This book has actual jump scares! Trust me: daytime only in a room with no closets." --Sadie Hartmann, 101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered "I don't believe Josh Malerman simply wrote Incidents Around the House . I believe he lit some candles, uttered an incantation in some forbidden arcane language, took parchment and quill in hand, slipped into a deep trance, and when he awoke, this book had appeared. Because that's how it reads. This novel feels channeled, whispered onto the page by something unseen. Something malevolent. Incidents Around the House is a shocker, a modern horror classic that scared the absolute hell out of me." --Jonathan Janz, author of Children of the Dark " Incidents Around the House marks the evolution of Josh Malerman. Its adept prose and commanding storytelling effortlessly draws the reader in for a deeply unsettling and genuinely frightening read. . . . A master class in scares . . . Highly recommended!" --Brian Keene, bestselling author of End of the Road, "A gleeful, mean, old-school scare machine . . . You just have to turn the first page to set it off." --Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World and Horror Movie "A masterwork of unadorned existential terror." --Zoje Stage, USA Today bestselling author of Baby Teeth "Josh Malerman is such an insidiousarchitect. I call all of his haunted houses home, and this just might be his most devilish design yet." --ClayMcLeodChapman , author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters "This haunting exploration of the perils of childhood is a story that will stay with you for a long time to come." --Gwendolyn Kiste , Lambda Literary and Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Reluctant Immortals and The Rust Maidens "This book does worse than stay with you--it stalks you.

It's a masterclass in scares." --Brian Keene , bestselling author of End of the Road " Hereditary meets Skinamarink: one of my favorite books of the year." --Sarah Langan, author of A Better World "Terrifying, beguiling, bewitching, awesomely constructed, and a masterpiece of voice and dread." --Nat Cassidy , author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror and Nestlings "So gripping in terror, I couldn't put it down. This is everything I'm looking for in a horror story." --Laurel Hightower "This book has actual jump scares! Trust me: daytime only in a room with no closets." --Sadie Hartmann , 101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered " This is what great horror does: Read it and it will never leave you. Josh Malerman is one of the best." --Thomas Tessier , award-winning author of The Nightwalker, Rapture, and Fog Heart "A triumph of craft and suspense." --Sarah Gailey "A disturbing bedtime story told by a broken child, this book IS the monster that lives inside your closet." --Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House "A shocker, a modern horror classic that scared the absolute hell out of me." --Jonathan Janz, author of Children of the Dark "Perfectly frightening . . . feels like an otherworldly warning as much as a story." --Johnny Compton, author of The Spite House "One of the most terrifying books I have ever read . . . I promise it will leave your heart pounding." --Thomas Olde Heuvelt, Hugo Award-winning author of HEX and Oracle, "Malerman succeeded in doing something I thought impossible: creating actual jump scares in a book.

Synopsis

"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 (Best Horror Books of 2024, So Far) A chilling horror novel about a haunting, told from the perspective of a young girl whose troubled family is targeted by an entity she calls "Other Mommy," from the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box "This book is the monster that lives inside your closet."--Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House 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.
