Sci-Fi & Scary is happy to present an exclusive audio clip, courtesy of MacMillan Audio, from Catriona Ward’s The Last House on Needless Street. This book was recently reviewed by Tracy on the site recently. You can read her review here, but to give you a taste of how she felt, here is a quote from the review.
With horror as my first love and thrillers/suspense as a close second, I love when a “new to me” author writes a book that both horrifies me and intrigues me so much that I forego sleep just to finish. The Last House on Needless Street is exactly this.
– Tracy
Praise for The Last House on Needless Street
“The buzz…is real. I’ve read it and was blown away. It’s a true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end.” —Stephen King
Catriona Ward’s The Last House on Needless Street is a shocking and immersive listen perfect for fans of Gone Girl and The Haunting of Hill House.
“The new face of literary dark fiction.” —Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes
In a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods lives a family of three.
A teenage girl who isn’t allowed outside, not after last time.
A man who drinks alone in front of his TV, trying to ignore the gaps in his memory.
And a house cat who loves napping and reading the Bible.
An unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door, what is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire
“A chilling and beautiful masterpiece of suspense.” —Joe Hill, New York Times bestselling author of NOS4A2
