Dystopian | Thriller
Written with the narrative tension of The Road
and the exquisite terror of classic Stephen King, Bird
Box is a propulsive, edge-of-your-seat horror thriller,
set in an apocalyptic near-future world—a masterpiece of
suspense from the brilliantly imaginative Josh
Malerman
Something is out there . .
.
Something terrifying that must not be seen. One
glimpse and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one
knows what it is or where it came from.
Five years
after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remain,
including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an
abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing
to a place where they might be safe. Now, that the boy and
girl are four, it is time to go. But the journey ahead will
be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a
rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and
the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will
die. And something is following them. But is it man, animal,
or monster?
Engulfed in darkness, surrounded by
sounds both familiar and frightening, Malorie embarks on a
harrowing odyssey—a trip that takes her into an unseen world
and back into the past, to the companions who once saved
her. Under the guidance of the stalwart Tom, a motely group
of strangers banded together against the unseen terror,
creating order from the chaos. But when supplies ran low,
they were forced to venture outside—and confront the
ultimate question: in a world gone mad, who can really be
trusted?
Interweaving past and present, Josh
Malerman's breathtaking debut is a horrific and gripping
snapshot of a world unraveled that will have you racing to
the final page.
