Mesmerizing. -Stephen KingTense and twisty. -Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Southern Vampire MysteriesA taut, creepy techno-chiller that will leave you hearing ghosts. -Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Survivor SongA new supernatural novel about a sinister mindfulness app with fatal consequences from the New York Times bestselling author of The Chill.Recently laid-off from his newspaper and desperate for work, war correspondent Nick Bishop takes a humbling job: writing a profile of a new mindfulness app called Clarity. Its easy money, and a chance to return to his hometown for the first time in years. The app itself seems like a retread of old ideas-relaxing white noise and guided meditations. But then there are the Sleep Songs. A womans hauntingly beautiful voice sings a ballad that is anything but soothing-its disturbing, and more of a warning than a relaxation-but it works. Deep, refreshing sleep follows.So do the nightmares. Vivid and chilling, they feature a dead woman who calls Nick by name and whispers guidance-or are they threats? And her voice follows him long after the song is done. As the effects of the nightmares begin to permeate his waking life, Nick makes a terrifying discovery: no one involved with Clarity has any interest in his article. Their interest is in him.
