Bird Box

“A book that demands to be read in a single sitting, and through the cracks between one’s fingers. There has never been a horror story quite like this. Josh Malerman truly delivers.” - Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of Wool“This completely compelling novel contains a thousand subtle touches but no mere flourishes-it is so well, so efficiently, so directly written I read it with real admiration. Josh Malerman does the job like a fast-talking, wised-up angel.” - Peter Straub“The author uses understatement and allusion to create a lean, spellbinding thriller that Stephen King fans will relish.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)”[A] chilling debut … Malerman… keeps us tinglingly on edge with his cool, merciless storytelling [and] douses his tale in poetic gloom….An unsettling thriller, this earns comparisons to Hitchcock’s The Birds, as well as the finer efforts of Stephen King and cult sci-fi fantasist Jonathan Carroll.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Hitchcockian… a notably strong study of modern psychological terror.” - USA Today

Josh Malerman is the acclaimed author of Bird Box and more than three dozen books, as well as the lead singer and songwriter for the rock band the High Strung. He has been nominated for multiple Bram Stoker Awards and lives in Michigan.
