What if your dead child never left the dinner table?
In the fog-choked Appalachian town of Hemlock, Daniel and Marianne Lambert still set three places every morning. They still hear their seven-year-old daughter's laughter echoing through the halls. They still watch her muddy footprints appear on freshly scrubbed floors.
Their daughter has been dead for exactly one year.
Trapped inside a lavender-scented Victorian that is slowly rotting around them, the Lamberts have perfected the ultimate act of love: shared delusion. The town watches in horrified silence. Only one new neighbor dares to look closer - and what she uncovers will shatter the last fragile wall between grief and madness.
Ellie's Feign is a devastating, claustrophobic descent into parental denial that will leave you checking every shadow in your own house.
4.8 out of 5 stars An airtight masterpiece of psychological horror. More terrifying than Pet Sematary, more suffocating than Shirley Jackson. I couldn't look away. - ARC Reviewer
