Description
From the author of Poor Things, a Wattpad featured story and #1 ranking novel in horror, comes a dark tale of love and vengeance . . . and spiders. When Mike Roberts kicks over a homeless woman's cup of change, she whispers a cryptic warning: "Mind the cracks . . ." Now the Boston he knows and loves is unraveling around him. But his life is not the only thing at stake. His mother, a once acclaimed writer lost in the late stages of Alzheimer's, depends on him to have a home. And then there's Cassie, beautiful, incomparable Cassie, who might want something more from Mike than the friendship they've long shared. As his city balances on a razor's edge, Mike will have to hunt down the daughter of the woman he wronged and uncover their terrible family secret . . . or be plunged into a world of crawling horrors and unspeakable hunger. A world from which no one has ever returned. --- Praise for Daniel Barnett's work: "Barnett's writing is pure poetry, and [Poor Things] is his goriest, grittiest yet . . . beautiful and touching, a poignant coming of age story." - YA Books Central "Totally unique and a refreshing twist on an end of the world type scenario."- Kindle Customer "Read this book in two days. Interesting story line and nonstop action. I couldn't find a good spot to put it down - I had to find out what happened next. Rivaled any Koontz story." - Kindle Customer ". . . rings with some echoes to Stephen King's It, but unlike some works ring with such echoes of great works, this story doesn't get drowned out by the comparison." - Kindle Customer "Hooked from page one, the story just keeps getting better and better right up to the end. Real horror, real young love and a great story overall." -Nook Customer " . . . hooked right from the beginning . . . would read everything from this author." - Kobo Customer
