Bookseller recommendation

“This is an old-school horror/thriller that features a recently executed serial killer aptly named Father Silence. He has a cult following who wants nothing more than to resurrect him and seek revenge on those that contributed to his arrest and subsequent death. Now, there is a new serial killer in town, the Outcast. Kidnappings, gruesome murders, sacrifices, and shocking twists ensure that no one is safe in Twisted Tree. ”
— Suzanne • Underground Books

Bookseller recommendation

“What a perfect book to listen to the week before Halloween. It grabbed me from the start, and I couldn’t wait to see how a serial killer just put to death, an inmate in an insane asylum (and the only boy to escape the serial killer), and the “outlaw” who was currently killing people and kidnapping children were all tied together. It was creepy and scary without being too gory – though the child abuse was tough to read. There was an interesting look at cults, and dissociative identities, and good old-fashioned police work. ”

Summary

About the narrator

#30 in Bestselling Horror Audiobooks

The sole survivor of a serial killer might hold the key to stopping a new spree of murders in this propulsive horror thriller in the vein of The Black Phone and The Whisper Man.

Dark and twisting at every turn, fans of Catriona Ward will love this chilling new tale from the deviously inventive horror author that Peter Farris calls the clear heir to Stephen King.”

Beware the one who got away . . .

Father Silence once terrorized the rural town of Twisted Tree, disguising himself as a priest to prey on the most vulnerable members of society. When the police finally found his House of Horrors, they uncovered nineteen bodies and one survivor–a boy now locked away in a hospital for the criminally insane.

Nearly two decades later, Father Silence is finally put to death, but by the next morning, the detective who made the original arrest is found dead. A new serial killer is taking credit for the murder and calling himself the Outcast.

The detective’s daughter, Tess Claibourne, is a detective herself, haunted by childhood trauma and horrified by the death of her father and the resurgence of Father Silence’s legacy.

When Tess’s daughter is kidnapped by the Outcast, Tess is forced to face her worst fears and long-buried memories. With no leads to follow, she travels back to Twisted Tree to visit the boy who survived and see what secrets might be buried in the tangled web of his broken mind.

With captivating prose and an old-school horror flair, Sleep Tight is a must-read, haunting tale from a true master of the genre.
