Acclaimed horror writer Grady Hendrix delivers another tale in which dark supernatural forces invade the suburbs of the '80s and '90s. This time, Hendrix's heroines are a group of stay-at-home moms who steal time for themselves in a true-crime book club. When vulnerable children start going missing after the appearance of a mysterious stranger, they can't help but notice that their genteel Charleston neighborhood is starting to feel a lot like one of their book selections--but what can this unlikely group of "bored housewives" possibly do to defeat otherworldly evil? More than you might think, as Hendrix's richly-drawn characters illustrate the resourcefulness, strength, and struggle of overlooked and underappreciated women. Featuring Hendrix's trademark wry humor and visceral gore, this book is sure to delight established fans as well as create new ones.Publisher description:
