Description

Mulholland Books presents... BREED

Alex and Leslie Twisden told each other they would do anything to have children. The price didn't matter. But the experimental procedure they found had costs they couldn't foresee.

Adam and Alice Twisden's lives seem perfectly normal. Except that, every night, without fail, their parents lock them into their rooms.

And the twins know that the sounds they can hear are not just their imagination. They're real. And they're getting louder...

From a new name in horror, BREED is a stunning thriller in the vein of Rosemary's Baby, brilliantly written, daring, and unforgettable.

Reviews

The best horror novel I've read since Peter Straub's Ghost Story. By turns terrifying and blackly funny, BREED is a total blast. - Stephen King

Stuffed with everything a good horror novel needs - feral children, a hell-for-leather chase through the streets of New York and plenty of gross-out descriptions - BREED is chilling, gruesome and deeply, darkly stylish. Best of all, it's funny. - Sunday Times

A nightmarish, yet sickeningly plausible world... An exceptional novel that's crying out for a movie adap - SFX

Novak puts an innovative spin on the idea that inside every parent lurks a monster, and delivers pulse-racing set pieces as a pervasive sense of dread blossoms into something poisonous....a stylish parable of greed - Financial Times

Delightfully entertaining...redolent of Roald Dahl at his creepy best - Washington Post

Above and beyond its fatality count BREED has originality on its side; the ending is a true shocker. - New York Times

Chase Novak unleashes truly scary literary horror villains in BREED: Mom and Dad...a thrill to read - USA Today

A slice of shivering dread - New York Daily News
