At the edge of the wild Washington woods stands a boarded-up house inhabited by three unlikely residents: Ted, a lonely man haunted by gaps in his memory; his teenage daughter Lauren, who is forbidden from going outside; and Olivia, a deeply opinionated cat who loves naps and reading the Bible.

Eleven years after a little girl disappeared nearby, her sister arrives on Needless Street searching for answers. She believes Ted knows what happened—but inside the house, nothing is quite what it seems. An unspeakable secret binds its inhabitants together, and the truth buried beneath their stories may destroy them all.

A dark, heartbreaking and brilliantly deceptive literary horror about trauma, memory and the lies we create to survive.
