About the book
An unforgettable contemporary ghost story in the tradition of Henry James's The Turn of the Screw from the award-winning author of October.
Rising from the fog over the waters of Devil's Lake, Blackmore Island is home to the infamous summerhouse called Wild Fell. A sinister past lies within its walls, and rumors of teenagers disappearing nearby have become the stuff of local legend. The townspeople do their best to avoid the place, and no one has lived there for over fifty years—until now.
Jameson Browning is ready for a break from all the drama in his life when he discovers an ad in the newspaper for a turn-of-the-century estate on a private island in Georgian Bay. It's a good location, and the price is a steal. How could he say no?
Except something is waiting inside the house for Jameson, ready to show him his senses can't always be trusted and the past isn't always gone forever . . .
"A novel for lovers of fine storytelling; a book that evokes terrors both ancient and modern . . . Wild Fell is supernatural fiction of the highest order." —Clive Barker, author of The Scarlet Gospels
"Deeply textured, richly imagined, and with characters that leap from the book, Wild Fell is an atmospheric ghost story that grips from the first page. A fine novel that is destined to become a classic." —Tim Lebbon, New York Times–bestselling author of the Relics series

Horror · Thriller · Occult Horror · Supernatural Horror
Our take
A forgotten train tunnel becomes the doorway to something that feeds on sleep. When a boy falls into a coma and whispers of a nightmare world called Lalaland, Deputy Beth Gardner uncovers ritualistic murders tied to old lullabies and a man driven to kill the comatose. This horror novel blends small-town dread with supernatural terror rooted in grief, memory, and the fragile boundary between dreams and death.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From J. H. Markert, the author Peter Farris calls the "clear heir to Stephen King," Mister Lullaby brings our darkest dreams and nightmares to life.
In the vein of T. Kingfisher and Christopher Golden, the boundary protecting our world from the monsters on the other side is weakening—and Mister Lullaby is about to break through.
The small town of Harrod’s Reach has seen its fair share of the macabre, especially inside the decrepit old train tunnel around which the town was built. After a young boy, Sully Dupree, is injured in the abandoned tunnel and left in a coma, the townspeople are determined to wall it up. Deputy sheriff Beth Gardner is reluctant to buy into the superstitions until she finds two corpses at the tunnel’s entrance, each left with strange calling cards inscribed with old lullabies. Soon after, Sully Dupree briefly awakens from his coma.
Before falling back into his slumber, Sully manages to give his older brother a message. Sully's mind, since the accident, has been imprisoned on the other side of the tunnel in Lalaland, a grotesque and unfamiliar world inhabited by evil mythical creatures of sleep. Sully is trapped there with hundreds of other coma patients, all desperately fighting to keep the evils of the dream world from escaping into the waking world.
Elsewhere, a man troubled by his painful youth has for years been hearing a voice in his head he calls Mr. Lullaby, and he has finally started to act on what that voice is telling him—to kill any coma patient he can find, quickly.
Something is waking up in the tunnel—something is trying to get through. And Mr. Lullaby is coming.
