The Chrysalis

A struggling couple finds sudden successes after moving into their new home—and something unnatural living there, in this atmospheric horror novel. "Creepy, powerful, wonderfully twisted." —New York Times–bestselling author Jonathan Maberry In a brutal spasm of bad luck, Tom and Jenny Decker lose both their cheap Manhattan apartment and their barely-above-minimum-wage jobs. Their luck runs hot when they stumble upon a surprisingly affordable house in the New Jersey suburbs, an old friend of Tom's offers him an amazing opportunity, and Jenny discovers that she's pregnant. But there are dark secrets galore in the Deckers' new/old house. The place has a violent past. There's a thing in the basement, a bizarre chrysalis Tom conceals from Jenny. Touching it makes him feel like a winner, like he can tackle any challenge—the mortgage, the commute, impending fatherhood. Until the night everything goes horribly wrong and the Deckers' dream life is exposed as the phantom it always was. The night the chrysalis starts to hatch . . . "Horror fans will love this dark, twisted, frightening story. If you loved The Amityville Horror or Heart Shaped Box, you'll love Brendan Deneen's The Chrysalis. Just keep the lights on while you read."―#1 New York Times–bestselling author Kristin Hannah "A brilliant and terrifying fever dream of a tale." ―New York Times–bestselling author Jay Bonansinga
