Bird Box <\/em>
\nMalerman, Josh<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be unable to take your eyes away from this crisp, taut tale. Josh Malerman\u2019s novel is a page-turning combination of Stephen King\u2019s The Mist and Cormac McCarthy\u2019s The Road.<\/p>\n

Imagine spending years raising two babies alone. Imagine feeling constant terror that you or your children may glimpse a \u201ccreature,\u201d the mere sight of which causes lethal insanity. <\/p>\n

But you know of a safe haven, 20 miles downriver. You know you must eventually get yourself and your children there, but how?<\/p>\n

This is the plight of heroine Malorie. You\u2019ll admire her courage and determination while wondering how you would manage in her situation.<\/p>\n

Bird Box<\/em> is compelling because it forces the reader to imagine the horrors barely but beautifully described within it. There is nothing scarier than one\u2019s own imagination. This is the author\u2019s debut novel. I can\u2019t imagine what comes next.<\/p>\n

Bird Box<\/em> is shelved in the Popular Reading<\/a> on the First Floor of the Post Learning Commons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
