Cradle Of Night

The Blackwood estate lies at the periphery of the New England woods, a place where silence festers and shadows breathe. Nora Callahan arrives desperate for a new start, to work as a live-in caretaker for a frail, strange child who murmurs of things that feed in the dark. But this is not a regular old house-it is alive, with its own hunger, entwined with blood to an ancient being known only as the Night Mother.As Nora unearths the family's legacy of rituals, curses, and sacrifices, she finds herself marked, the shadows laying claim to her very flesh. The more she learns of the estate's history, the more obvious it is: to protect the child, she may have to forfeit her own soul.Cradle of Night is a creepy gothic horror novel that is rich in atmosphere, a haunting descent into possession, familial curses, and the terrors of the supernatural. For fans of Shirley Jackson, Hailey Piper, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia, this novel is one of creeping dread and horrifying imagery that will keep you up at night long after the last page.
