NATIONAL BESTSELLER · OPTIONED FOR NETFLIX BY A PRODUCER OF THE BATMAN GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER “I loved it." —Stephen King From Edgar Award-finalist Jason Rekulak comes a wildly inventive spin on the supernatural thriller, for fans of Stranger Things and Riley Sager, about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets. Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy. Mallory immediately loves it. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body. Then, Teddy’s artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force. Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it’s too late.

Afternoons are spent with his buddies, watching copious amounts of television, gorging on Pop-Tarts, debating who would win in a brawl (Rocky Balboa or Freddy Krueger? Bruce Springsteen or Billy Joel? Magnum P.I. Or T.J. Hooker?), and programming video games on his Commodore 64 late into the night. Then Playboy magazine publishes photos of Wheel of Fortune hostess Vanna White, Billy meets expert programmer Mary Zelinsky, and everything changes."--

Alors qu'elle sort tout juste d'une cure de désintoxication, Mallory Quinn est engagée comme baby-sitter par Ted et Caroline Maxwell. Elle doit s'occuper de leur fils de cinq ans, Teddy. Mallory est aussitôt sous le charme. Elle a son propre espace de vie, elle sort le soir pour courir, et elle a enfin la stabilité dont elle rêvait. De plus, elle s'attache sincèrement à Teddy, un petit garçon doux et timide qui ne se déplace jamais sans son cahier et son crayon. Ses dessins suivent les thèmes habituels de cet âge : arbres, lapins, ballons. Mais un jour, il dessine quelque chose de différent : un homme dans une forêt, qui traîne le corps sans vie d'une femme. Les oeuvres de Teddy deviennent alors de plus en plus sinistres, et ses bonhommes rudimentaires se changent bientôt en esquisses trop réalistes qui excèdent largement les capacités d'un enfant de cinq ans. Mallory commence à se demander si ce ne sont pas là les échos d'un meurtre ancien, peut-être relayés par une force surnaturelle. Consciente que tout cela relève de la folie, Mallory entreprend néanmoins de déchiffrer ces images... et de sauver Teddy avant qu'il soit trop tard. « J'ai adoré ce roman. Un style direct et sans fioritures, de réelles surprises, un rythme qui maintient le lecteur en haleine. Et les illustrations sont excellentes ! » Stephen King « Intelligent et angoissant à souhait, parfaitement maîtrisé, le meilleur thriller d'horreur que j'ai lu depuis des années. Destiné à devenir un classique. » Ransom Rigg, auteur de Miss Peregrine et les enfants particuliers « Un roman précieux, maîtrisant les règles du genre alors même qu'il s'en éloigne pour en inventer de nouvelles. Une formidable lecture pleine de trouvailles, aussi bien littéraires que visuelles. À partager sans modération. » Scott Frank, réalisateur de la série Le Jeu de la dame
