"oh darling, we can never leave this place."
Apocalypse Now meets Ginger Snaps in a brand new novel about family, isolation and existential horror.
Ethan is a cop. And on a night like any other, befriends Lara, a seemingly completely normal girl. Completely normal, save for the fact that she has no memories except her own name, suffers horrible hallucinations, and that she's trying to find her missing sister, Polly. Driven by the newfound knowledge of Polly's potential whereabouts, Lara and Ethan begin the perilous journey through a post-apocalyptic Australia to the middle of nowhere.
However, it is quickly revealed that not everything is as it seems, with terrifying, shadowy figures following their every move and the fact that Lara maybe, quite possibly has a more monstrous side. To top it all off, Ethan seems to be up to something, and as events from the past and present collide, his true motivations for bringing her out there are revealed.
