Winner of the RUSA Award for Best Horror When a young woman clears out her deceased grandmotherâs home in rural North Carolina, she finds long-hidden secrets about a strange colony of beings in the woods in this chilling novel that reads like The Blair Witch Project meets The Andy Griffith Show. When Mouseâs dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother's house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be? Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but thereâs moreâMouse stumbles across her step-grandfatherâs journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rantsâ¦until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself. Alone in the woods with her dog, Mouse finds herself face to face with a series of impossible terrorsâbecause sometimes the things that go bump in the night are real, and theyâre looking for you. And if she doesnât face them head on, she might not survive to tell the tale. From Hugo Awardâwinning author Ursula Vernon, writing as T. Kingfisher, The Twisted Ones is a gripping, terrifying tale bound to keep you up all nightâfrom both fear and anticipation of what happens next.
