Synopsis

Bryan and Ellie Stockton hope they left behind their demons when they move to their idyllic new home in southern West Virginia. Above all, they want a fresh start for their young son, Derrick, who witnessed the tumultuous first years of their marriage—years that were rife with substance abuse, rage, and resentment. Their bright hope for the future is darkened when a child disappears from their neighborhood. The couple becomes suspicious of a reclusive resident with a degenerative brain disorder. Strange events begin to happen in their house just as Derrick tells them about a new friend who visits him at night. Their son may be acting out from the trauma he endured, or he could be the obsession of something much more sinister.

Goodreads review by Stitching on February 13, 2024

There were a couple of things that just generally seemed to be there for the sake of shock value and never explained so they came across as quite goofy (mainly the poop aspect and why does the kid not have a reaction to his pretty princess friend smelling like literal shit?). Other than that, I thou......more
