Synopsis
Sundial is a new, twisty psychological horror novel from Catriona Ward, author of The Last House on Needless Street.
"The new face of literary dark fiction." --Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes
You can't escape what's in your blood...
All Rob wanted was a normal life. She almost got it, too: a husband, two kids, a nice house in the suburbs. Far from her childhood home, Sundial, hidden deep in the wild Mojave Desert.
But beneath the veneer, Rob is terrified for her oldest daughter, Callie, who collects tiny bones and whispers to imaginary friends. Rob sees a darkness in Callie, one that reminds her too much of the family she left behind.
Running from her past has led her directly back to it -- what's buried at Sundial could never stay a secret forever, and Rob must risk one last trip out there to protect her family, and her future.
"A true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end." --Stephen King on The Last House on Needless Street
