When young Henry Thorne is kidnapped and held prisoner in a remote farmhouse surrounded by miles of forest, he finds himself connecting with a strange force living in the woods — using that bond to wreak havoc against his captors. Unknown to the boy, however, is that this ancient being has its own reasons for wanting the interlopers gone — there is something hidden beneath the house, tucked away in the dark, damp root cellar...waiting for its return.

'Fracassi’s novel hits me like a cross between McCammon and '80s King. Might be one of them summer blockbusters readers love.' — Laird Barron, author of Worse Angels

'A Child Alone with Strangers starts out as a slow burn procedural with supernatural elements and inexorably cranks itself into a pulse-pounding symphony of eldritch horrors and all-too-human violence. Philip Fracassi is the best sort of horror writer — one who is unafraid to hunt for light in even the darkest places.' — Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters

Reviews for A Child Alone with Strangers: A Novel

Fracassi's novel hits me like a cross between McCammon and '80s King. Might be one of them summer blockbusters readers love. -Laird Barron, author of Worse Angels A Child Alone with Strangers starts out as a slow burn procedural with supernatural elements and inexorably cranks itself into a pulse-pounding symphony of eldritch horrors and all-too-human violence. Philip Fracassi is the best sort of horror writer--one who is unafraid to hunt for light in even the darkest places. -Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters Philip Fracassi's range, prolific output, and fast-paced prose are all set to put him on the shelf next to names such as King, Straub, and Thomas Harris . . . . one of the best books of the year. -Logan England, Signal Horizon ...a sheer barrage of non-stop visceral horror and some truly breath-taking sequences which were vicious throwbacks to seventies and eighties era horror. -Tony Jones, Ginger Nuts of Horror This book is a horror masterpiece. -Scribble's Worth It's so much more than a supernatural horror thriller because at the heart of it is loss and living through the fog of grief. -Book Stalker Blog
