Led by Mary-Love, the powerful matriarch, and by Oscar, her devoted son, the family must pick itself back up. But what they haven't anticipated is the sudden appearance of Elinor Dammert - a mysterious but seductive young woman with a troubling past. Her sole ambition appears to be to infiltrate the very heart of the Caskey clan... 'Beyond any trace of a doubt, one of the absolutely best writers of horror' Peter Straub 'One of the genre's most underrated writers' Poppy Z.
