A remote and affluent Maine community, Corpus Christi was untouched by the environmental catastrophe that destroyed the neighbouring blue-collar town of Bedford. But all that will change in a heartbeat...The nightmare is awakened when third-grade schoolteacher Louis Larkin takes the children on a field trip to Bedford. There in the abandoned woods, a small, cruel boy unearths an ancient horror- a contagious plague that transforms its victims into something violent, hungry... and inhuman.The long, dark night is just beginning. And all hope must die as the contagion feeds- for the malevolence will not rest until it had devoured every living soul in Corpus Christi... and beyond.

From the author of Good Neighbours, described by Gillian Flynn as 'wildly entertaining'. An absorbing and astute satirical thriller about a family's odyssey into an exclusive enclave for the wealthy that might not be as ideal as it seems.

"'You'll be safe here.' That's what the greasy tour guide tells the Farmer-Bowens when they visit Plymouth Valley, a walled-off company town with clean air, pantries that never go empty, and blue-ribbon schools. On a very trial basis, the company offers to hire Linda Farmer's husband, a numbers genius, and relocate her whole family to this bucolic paradise for the .0001%. Though Linda will have to sacrifice her medical career back home, the family jumps at the opportunity. ... With the outside world literally falling apart, this might be the Farmer-Bowens last chance. But fitting in takes work. The pampered locals distrust outsiders, cruelly snubbing Linda, Russell, and their teen twins. And the residents fervently adhere to a group of customs and beliefs called Hollow--but what exactly is Hollow?"--
