Kylie Lee Baker returns with another witty, gory, horror PHENOMENON
'WOW. This book is now burned into my brain for so many reasons! I don't recommend you read right before you go to sleep...' 🦇
'I was not expecting quite so much gore in this book (when they said it was gory, they meant gory) but WOW' 🦇
'Harrowing, gripping and deeply creepy throughout. From the first chapter I was hooked, letting out gasps in shock and desperate to continue' 🦇
2025
Lee can't remember exactly where he hid the body, but he can remember the blood. Hiding out at his father's centuries-old home in Japan, Lee knows something is wrong with him, and he knows it has something to do with his mother's disappearance almost a decade ago.
1877
A female samurai, Sen, stalks the borders of her home to protect her family from slaughter after the abolition of the samurai class. She's not sure how they'll ever survive, not without her father, who has returned from war with a different soul behind his eyes.
When Lee and Sen find one another through a door between their worlds, they're both looking for answers. But what they find in the creaking old house they share is beyond what either of them could imagine...
