Everybody in town has heard the story of the killer clown and the babysitter. Terrence and Stacy know the truth is worse than any urban legend. They’re  young, smart, and proud of their three boys—and their lives are about to shatter. It starts with little things: A chess game the kids shouldn’t know how to play. A game of hide-and-seek that goes on way too long. A strange voice just below the household noise. And the missing pounds of sugar. What’s wrong with the boys? Who are they talking to when they think no one’s around? A suggestive horror story in the tradition of Robert Aickman.
