The Bad Ones

"This book feels like one of those scary stories you’d tell as a kid at a sleepover – the kind that starts out as totally fictional but feels so real and terrifying by the end that you have to leave a light on. Creepy, monstrous and compelling – the story follows Nora, who is trying to unravel the disappearance of her estranged best friend, Becca. Melissa Albert weaves a tight mystery that takes on a different shape each time you turn it over in your hands. It’s an eerie ode to girlhood, suburban legends and that one corner of the room you never want to visit in the dark."
