The Last House on Needless Street
is a shocking and immersive read perfect for fans of
Gone Girl
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."
