A mysterious intruder takes hold of a family's memory and mind in this "impressively inventive . . . delightfully disturbing" horror novel ( Kirkus Reviews).

First it first broke into the house. But somehow the thing would insinuate itself into the Lund family household. At first, the Lunds were bemused. Vaguely human-shaped, its constantly-changing cravings seemed disturbing, but time has a way of normalizing the extreme. Wasn't it always there, part of their lives?

As the family make more and greater sacrifices in service to the beast, the thrall that binds them begins to break down. Choices must be made. Prices must be paid. And the Lunds must pit their wits against a creature determined to never let them go.
