A terrifying tale from the perspective of a lonely and troubled man named Ted, his house-bound teenage daughter, and his bible loving cat. You know from the start that Ted keeps a terrible secret buried out amongst the trees behind his boarded up home on Needless Street. Finding out what that secret is however, requires you to wade through a tale that explores themes of mental illness, freedom, obsession, abuse, and most importantly healing. Though the harrowing narrative is split between the points of view of Ted, his daughter, his cat, and a girl on the hunt for her missing sister, the author writes in such a way that a cohesive story is formed. While in the beginning it can be confusing and jarring to absorb the story from different people and points of time, as you read on all the pieces fall into place. You end up having many “ah-ha” moments, only to have what you think you know ripped out from under you. This book is unique to the point that I can confidently say that I've never read anything quite like it. I can only compare it to the masterful world building and disturbing imagery of author Stephen King. I can confidently assure you that you wont regret the time you spend with the fascinating characters within its pages. I myself spent a few nights up far too late, unable to put it down as I was absorbed into every last page.This is easily one of my new favorite books and I am not ashamed to say that once I reached the last page, I cried. I cannot sing the praises of this book enough.
