BOOK DESCRIPTION
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Drowning Kind comes a genre-defying novel, inspired by Mary Shelley's masterpiece Frankenstein, that brilliantly explores the strange mysteries of childhood and the evils perpetrated by the monsters among us.
1978: At her famous treatment center in picturesque Vermont, brilliant psychiatrist Dr. Helen Hildreth is acclaimed for her compassionate work with the mentally ill. But when she's home with her beloved grandchildren, Vi and Eric, she's just grandma: teaching them how to care for their pets, cooking them home-cooked meals, provides care, attention and love.
Then one day, Gran brings home a child to stay with the family. Iris – silent, hollow-eyed, nervous and wild – doesn't behave like a normal girl.
Still, Violet is thrilled to have a new playmate. She and Eric invite Iris to join their Monster Club, where they dream up ways to defeat all kinds of monsters. Soon, Iris begins to come out of her shell. She, Vi and Eric do everything together: ride bikes, go to the drive-in, meet secretly in their clubhouse to hunt monsters. Because, as Vi explains, monsters are everywhere.
2019: Lizzy Shelley, host of the popular podcast Monsters Among Us, travels to Vermont, where a young girl has been kidnapped and the sighting of a monster sends the town into turmoil. She's determined to track him down, because Lizzy knows better than anyone that monsters are real – and one of them is her own sister.
“A must-have for fans of psychological thrillers” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), Children of the Hill takes us on a thrilling journey to confront the primal fears that await us all.
