To eight-year-old Bela, her world is small and safe—Mommy, Daddo, Grandma Ruth. And then there’s Other Mommy, the voice that whispers from the dark and asks the same terrible question every day: “Can I go inside your heart?”
When strange incidents begin to shake their home, Bela realizes the question isn’t just pretend. Other Mommy is growing stronger, more desperate, and she’s done waiting for permission. As fear creeps through the cracks of her parents’ failing marriage, Bela’s only refuge is the fragile bond of family—one that may not hold against what’s coming.
From Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box, comes a story of innocence under siege and horror that hits where it hurts. A Bram Stoker Award nominee and Locus Award finalist, Incidents Around the House will leave you breathless.
