A family is shaken to its core after the mysterious disappearance of a teenage boy in this eerie tale, a blend of literary fiction, psychological suspense, and supernatural horror from the author of A Head Full of Ghosts. “A Head Full of Ghosts scared the living hell out of me, and I’m pretty hard to scare,” raved Stephen King about Paul Tremblay’s previous novel. Now, Tremblay returns with another disturbing tale sure to unsettle readers. Late one summer night, Elizabeth Sanderson receives the devastating news that every mother fears: her thirteen-year-old son, Tommy, has vanished without a trace in the woods of a local park. The search isn’t yielding any answers, and Elizabeth and her young daughter, Kate, struggle to comprehend Tommy’s disappearance.…

"Tommy Sanderson, a 13-year-old living with his single mother and sister just outside Boston, doesn’t come home after a sleepover with his buddies. The search for him begins in Borderland, a nearby forest: specifically a place called Split Rock, a cleft boulder with a dead tree sticking out of it that the boys have begun referring to as Devil’s Rock. From that simple premise, Paul Tremblay crafts an intricate, perception-rattling mystery in which nothing is as it seems — the kind of thriller that takes the simple premise of a lost child and twists it into a dizzying emotional vortex."
