Kylie Lee Baker returns with another addictive, gory, horror PHENOMENON
'A blood-soaked, masterful blend of horror and mystery' GUARDIAN
'Blood-slicked, unsettling and immersive' DAILY MAIL
'A lush, unnerving ghost story' NEW YORK TIMES

'Audacious, surreal . . . An exquisite expression of human pain held tight across centuries' LEIGH RADFORD

2026

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...

PRAISE FOR THE NEWEST VOICE IN HORROR:
'A profound reminder of the true horrors that lurk in the world' TORI BOVALINO
'A serial killer mystery and a heartbreaking portrayal of grief' KIRSTY LOGAN
'This book dug its claws into me and would not let go' LING LING HUANG
'Body horror and female rage fiction combine in a powerful novel that will leave you quaking' ALMA KATSU
'A poignant, searing portrait of the hostility and violence that plagued pandemic-era NYC' VERONICA G. HENRY
