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.

Damn good book !!! Characters written with depth , lots of detail without the word salad . Great writing style and characters, I would love to see this as a movie or show. So much potential with how this is written .
It’s good, definitely keeps you in, but it is predictable.
A great book leaves you in suspense
Oh how did I sleep on this book.Tess followed in her father's foot steps to be a homicide detective. The execution of father silent, starts a whole whirlwind of craziness. There are murders, children are abducted, and animal masked people. It all leads back to the past. This book we'll make you second guess everything that you know. Well written with a very twisty plot.
The action starts fast and moves quickly. I couldn’t put this down. Tightly wrapped story, that unfolds well. Characters you root for. Well drawn villain.
