A remote and affluent Maine community, Corpus Christi was untouched by the environmental catastrophe that destroyed the neighbouring blue-collar town of Bedford. But all that will change in a heartbeat...The nightmare is awakened when third-grade schoolteacher Louis Larkin takes the children on a field trip to Bedford. There in the abandoned woods, a small, cruel boy unearths an ancient horror- a contagious plague that transforms its victims into something violent, hungry... and inhuman.The long, dark night is just beginning. And all hope must die as the contagion feeds- for the malevolence will not rest until it had devoured every living soul in Corpus Christi... and beyond.

She lives in their dreams. They die in hers. Nothing good can grow in the forgotten town of Bedford. After the closure of the paper mill, the town has become a wasteland. A decade of layoffs has caused a collective bitterness, leading many inhabitants to alcoholism, crime and abuse. The worst symptom, however, is the nightmare they all share every single night. Susan Marley haunts their dreams. The object of derision, lust and fear, she wanders the town barefoot, never saying a word. But when she dies, betrayed by life one final time, Bedford begins to suffer horrors far more terrifying than any vision. What dark secrets has Susan Marley been keeping? And why has she come back? For fans of A. M. Shine and Rebecca Netley, The Keeper is a chilling small-town horror from Bram Stoker Award winner Sarah Langan. 'Inhabits the mind like a dark, lingering smoke' Jack Ketchum, author of Offspring 'Sarah Langan combines a genuinely poetic sensibility with a taste for horror's most bravura excesses' Peter Straub, author of Ghost Story

From the author of Good Neighbours, described by Gillian Flynn as 'wildly entertaining'. An absorbing and astute satirical thriller about a family's odyssey into an exclusive enclave for the wealthy that might not be as ideal as it seems.
