The Last House on Needless Street, Paperback/Catriona Ward

The buzz...is real. I've read it and was blown away. It's a true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end. --Stephen King Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Horror Novel! An Indie Next Pick! A LibraryReads Top 10 Pick! A Library Journal Editors' Pick! Named one of the 50 Best Horror Books of All Time by Esquire ! Catriona Ward's The Last House on Needless Street is a shocking and immersive read perfect for fans of Gone Girl and The Haunting of Hill House . In a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods lives a family of three. A young girl who isn't allowed outside, not after last time. A man who drinks alone in front of his TV, trying to ignore the gaps in his memory. And a house cat who loves napping and reading the Bible. An unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door, what is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all. Brilliant....[a] deeply frightening deconstruction of the illusion of the self. -- The New York Times CATRIONA WARD was born in Washington, DC and grew up in the United States, Kenya, Madagascar, Yemen, and Morocco.
