FAMILY

---
THE DEBUT NOVEL BY IAN ROGERS
---

"Authentically scary, FAMILY is a séance in a box. I read a big chunk of this book alone in the house. Not the smartest decision I've ever made. Ian Rogers has horror in his bones."

—Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Incidents Around the House

The Bennett family is broken. After a series of devastating events, they leave their old lives behind and start over in a new town. The move is supposed to give them a chance to heal and to help mend their familial bonds, but they soon discover some wounds run deeper than others, and they always leave scars.

And there’s something seriously wrong with their new house.

There’s a presence lurking within the walls, walking the halls at night, and it seems to know everything about the Bennetts. Their secrets, their desires…and their fears.

What starts out as mild paranormal activity quickly escalates into a full-on supernatural assault by an entity whose motives are as nebulous as its origins. If the Bennetts hope to survive, they will have to confront the horrors of their past, forgive each other for the wrongs they’ve done, and come together as a single powerful force.

As Family.
