Narcoleptic Southie PI Mark Genevich returns in this sequel to The Little Sleep from the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Survivor Song and The Cabin at the End of the World. Like most private eyes, Mark Genevich is something of a lone wolf. So group therapy isn't a great fit. But his landlord/mother is convinced it will help his narcolepsy--ignoring the fact that his disorder is a physical condition. Truth is, he has the time. It's been a year and a half since his last big case, or any case. It's never a wise choice to go on a two-day bender with someone you meet in group therapy, but there's something about Gus that intrigues Genevich. And when his new drinking buddy asks him to protect a female friend who's being stalked, the PI finally has a case. Unfortunately, he's about to sleepwalk right into a very real nightmare. Before long he's a suspect in an arson investigation and running afoul of everyone from the cops to a litigious lawyer and a bouncer with anger management issues. Genevich must keep his wits about him--always a challenge for a detective prone to unexpected blackouts and hallucinations--to solve the crime and live to show up at his next therapy session. In Paul Tremblay's follow-up to The Little Sleep, unreliable narrator Mark Genevich once again leads readers on a surreal and suspenseful wild ride through the mean streets of South Boston and his own dreamlike reality.

"In a matter of weeks, Massachusetts has been overrun by an insidious virus that is spread by saliva. Those infected--both animals and humans--quickly lose their minds and are driven to bite and infect as many others as they can before they die ... or are killed. Emergency protocols are faltering, rations are being distributed, and the commonwealth is under quarantine and curfew to try to limit the spread of the new virus. Hospitals are inundated with the sick, and hysteria has taken hold. Dr. Ramola "Rams" Sherman receives a frantic phone call from Natalie, her best friend from college who is due to give birth in a matter of days. Natalie's husband has been killed--viciously attacked by an infected neighbor--and in a failed attempt to save him, Nats, too, was bitten. Her only chance of survival is to get to a hospital as quickly as possible to receive a rabies vaccine--and to deliver her child. The clock is ticking for Nats and the baby. The fight to save their lives becomes a desperate odyssey as these friends make their way through a hostile landscape filled with unexpected dangers beyond their worst nightmares. But even if Nats gets the vaccine, will it be too late?"-- Provided by publisher

Paul Tremblay's terrifying twist to the home invasion novel--inspiration for the upcoming major motion picture from Universal Pictures "Tremblay's personal best. It's that good." -- Stephen King Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road. One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen, but he is young, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, "None of what's going to happen is your fault." Three more strangers then arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: "Your dads won't want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world." Thus begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are entwined. The Cabin at the End of the World is a masterpiece of terror and suspense from the fantastically fertile imagination of Paul Tremblay.
