From breadth of shadow and bliss of soul
\nmay I present
\nINCIDENTS AROUND THE HOUSE
\ncoming June 25
\nand may we never be asked,
\n“Can I go inside your heart?”
\nin an unrecognizable tone of voice
\ncoming from a blurred corner
\nan overlooked sliver
\nof our comforts.
\n–Josh Malerman<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A chilling, wholly unique tale of true horror told by the child Bela. A story about a family as haunted as their home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>To eight-year-old Bela, her family is her world. There\u2019s Mommy, Daddo, and Grandma Ruth. But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: \u201cCan I go inside your heart?\u201d<\/p>\n

When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the question over and over, Bela understands that unless she says yes, her family will soon pay.<\/p>\n

Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents’ marriage.<\/p>\n

The safety Bela relies on is about to unravel. But Other Mommy needs an answer.<\/p>\n
