About this audiobook

Now a major motion picture, Other Mommy, starring Jessica Chastain.

'This is the rare novel that's authentically scary' – Stephen King, the bestselling author of The Shining and IT

From the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box, Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman is a chilling, wholly unique tale of true horror about a family as haunted as their home.

To eight-year-old Bela, her family is her world. There’s Mommy, Daddy and Grandma Ruth. But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: ‘Can I go inside your heart?’

When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the question over and over, Bela understands that unless she says yes, her family will soon pay.

Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents’ marriage. The safety Bela relies on is about to unravel.

But Other Mommy needs an answer.

keep the lights on when listening especially when the house starts to make noises, radiators clicking on and off or your neighbours walking across the ceiling causing floorboards to creak or flushing toilets starting the watet system.
