A Child Alone with Strangers: A Novel

Written by Philip Fracassi

Narrated by Sterling Boyns

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.

Reviews for A Child Alone with Strangers

[Jamie · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

If you told me Fracassi was a newly discovered pseudonym for 80's King... I'd believe you. This book (and all of Fracassi's work for that matter) is beautiful, brutal and a joy to read. Keep writing Philip!
