In the Night Room

WINNER OF THE BRAM STOKER AWARD - After a grotesque accident, a famous author discovers that her reality is not what it seems in this "imaginative, intricate, and electrifying" (Associated Press) horror novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Story.

"A powerful and arresting foray into the dark fantastic."--The Washington Post Book World

Willy Patrick, respected author of the award-winning young adult novel In the Night Room, thinks she is losing her mind. She is drawn helplessly into the parking lot of a warehouse, knowing somehow that her daughter, Holly, is being held in the building. But this is impossible--Willy's daughter is dead.

On that same day, author Timothy Underhill, who has been struggling with a new book about a troubled young woman, is confronted with the ghost of his nine-year-old sister, April. Soon after, he begins to receive eerie, fragmented emails from people he knew in his youth--people now dead. Like his sister, they want urgently to tell him something. When Willy and Tim meet, the frightening parallels between Willy's tragic loss and the story in Tim's manuscript suggest that they must join forces to confront the evils surrounding them.
