Tim has always been afraid of the dark, but in his strict, religious household, fear is a weakness that earns no sympathy. His abusive father mocks him, his distant mother ignores him, and the oppressive silence of their home offers no comfort. But one fateful night, after his father rips away his blankets and forces him to face the darkness, something answers his fear. A faceless shadow paces outside his window. A grinning, nightmarish creature lurks in the corner. And as the whispers begin, Tim realizes his terror is more than just a feeling—it’s an invitation.

The things in the dark are watching. They are waiting.
And they are very, very hungry.
