From the author of Sorcerie and Here Lurk Monsters comes a gothic-horror masterpiece. An unemployed nanny running from her past accepts the position of night sitter for a mysterious little girl who only seems to exist between midnight and dawn. You will find the girl in the attic after midnight. You are to be the night sitter, Miss Emily. . . Emily, destitute and penniless, arrives at the residence of Ms. Vivian Dancemore for a most unusual job interview. The position of night sitter for a peculiar nine year old child by the name of Madelyn Dancemore who only seems to exist between midnight and dawn and whose charge comes with an equally peculiar list of house rules. Emily accepts the position out of curiosity and financial need, but soon begins to regret her decision upon discovering all the doors and windows of her new home, a large dark Victorian mansion at the very end of a long dark street, to be fashioned with locks. Not only on the outside of this strange house, but the inside. There is a most dreadful reason for this precaution. Little Madelyn has secrets. Dark little terrible secrets. And Emily has no escape. . . The Night Sitter is a spine-chilling ghost story with a monstrous twist. Indeed, as many twists and turns as the haunted labyrinth of a creepy old house in which it takes place. Ideal for fans of Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, and Josh Malerman.
