Leave-the-lights-on-tonight frightening, with a quiet edge of horror that is much more effective than gore. - NPRFrom Laura Kasischke, the critically acclaimed and nationally bestselling poet and author of The Raising, comes a dark and chilling thriller that combines domestic drama with elements of psychological suspense and horror-an addictive tale of denial and guilt that is part Joyce Carol Oates and part Chris Bohjalian.On a snowy Christmas morning, Holly Judge awakens with the fragments of a nightmare floating on the edge of her consciousness. Something followed them from Russia. Thirteen years ago, she and her husband Eric adopted baby Tatty, their pretty, black-haired Rapunzel, from the Pokrovka Orphanage #2. Now, at fifteen, Tatiana is more beautiful than ever-and disturbingly erratic.As a blizzard rages outside, Holly and Tatiana are alone. With each passing hour, Tatianas mood darkens, and her behavior becomes increasingly frightening . . . until Holly finds she no longer recognizes her daughter.
