A taut, creepy techno-chiller that will leave you hearing ghosts.
--Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Survivor Song A new supernatural novel about a sinister mindfulness app with fatal consequences from the New York Times bestselling author of the grips from the first page (Stephen King) thriller The Chill .
Recently laid-off from his newspaper and desperate for work, war correspondent Nick Bishop takes a humbling job: writing a profile of a new mindfulness app called Clarity.
It's easy money, and a chance to return to his hometown for his first visit in years.
The app itself seems like a retread of old ideas--relaxing white noise and guided meditations.
But then there are the Sleep Songs.
A woman's hauntingly beautiful voice sings a ballad that is anything but soothing--it's disturbing, really, more of a warning than a relaxation--but it works.
Deep, refreshing sleep follows.
So do nightmares.
Vivid and chilling, they feature a dead woman who calls Nick by name and whispers guidance--or are they threats? And soon her voice follows him long after the song is done.
As the effects of the nightmares begin to permeate his waking life, Nick makes a terrifying discovery: no one involved with Clarity has any interest in his article.
Their interest is in him .
An atmospheric and haunting thriller perfect for our times, Where They Wait proves that horror has a new name and it's Scott Carson (Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
Where They Wait is so readable you'll be a couple of hundred pages in before you realize you're terrified.
and then you can't put it down.
Mesmerizing.
