What to expect

'Increasingly terrifying comic strips and haunting woodcut illustrations accentuate the tale's sinister undertones... by turns cozy, creepy, and comedic' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

A simple cat-sitting job becomes a living nightmare in the new illustrated horror novel by the New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Pictures

In a spiral of grief after her own pet cat goes missing, cartoonist Penny Padgett wonders if pet-sitting the peculiar cat Godfrey could be just what she needs. At first, Godfrey is charming and affectionate - but not long after Penny lets him into her home, strange things begin to happen.

A terrible insect infestation takes hold of the basement. Penny's cute cartoon illustrations turn dark and surreal, as if influenced by an invisible hand. And her health starts failing, as if her mind and body are under attack by a sinister, malevolent force.

Penny may be a cat person - but Godfrey is no ordinary cat . . .

Critics Review

Increasingly terrifying comic strips and haunting woodcut illustrations accentuate the tale's sinister undertones, while Rekulak's broad characterizations make room for humor. With a plot that's by turns cozy, creepy, and comedic, this is good fun
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
PRAISE FOR JASON REKULALK
I loved it. The surprises really surprise and it has that hard-to-achieve propulsiveness that won't let you put it down. And the pictures are terrific!
STEPHEN KING
Must be the boldest double twist of the year. Truly fantastic
THE TIMES
Tightly plotted and well written [...] A gripping page-turner with intriguing characters and genuinely creepy moments
DAILY MIRROR
Hidden Pictures isn't a ghost story, it's a scalpel that slices into our smug sense of self-satisfaction so deeply it hits bone. A perfect summer thriller complete with vengeful spirits, class warfare, and it even has pictures. What more could you want?
GRADY HENDRIX
Whip-smart, creepy as hell, and masterfully plotted, Hidden Pictures is the best new thriller I've read in years. Destined to be a classic of the genre
