"I loved it." —Stephen King
From Edgar Award-finalist Jason Rekulak comes a wildly inventive spin on the supernatural thriller, for fans of Stranger Things and Riley Sager, about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets.
Mallory Quinn is recently released from rehab when she accepts a position as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. Her responsibility is to care for their five-year-old son, Teddy.
Mallory immediately falls in love with the job. She has her own space, enjoys nightly runs, and finds the stability she yearns for. She develops a strong bond with Teddy, a timid and kind boy who always carries his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are typical: trees, rabbits, and balloons. However, one day he sketches something different: a man in a forest, dragging a lifeless woman's body.
As Teddy's artwork becomes progressively more sinister, his stick figures transform into lifelike drawings that surpass the skills of any average five-year-old. Mallory starts to question if these illustrations reveal an unsolved murder, possibly communicated by a supernatural force.
Despite how insane it all sounds, Mallory embarks on a mission to interpret the images and save Teddy before it's too late.
