The Narrows
ByPublisher Description
A creepy and atmospheric slice of small town horror from the Bram Stoker award finalist and bestselling author of Come With Me. Perfect for readers of Christopher Golden and fans of Mike Flanagan.
In the aftermath of a terrible storm, the town of Stillwater, Maryland tries to recover what it has lost. From flooded roads and houses, to ruined businesses—the residents of the town begin to clean up and return to normal.
In the midst of the clear up, people begin to see things. Matthew Crawly spies his father in the woodlands above the Narrows, but that cannot be possible; Maggie Quedentock nearly hits a child with her car, only to find an empty road lying before her; and in the middle of it all, Sergeant Ben Journell is thrust into an impossible investigation. Animals are being slaughtered, their brains systematically removed from their bodies. Something is happening to the town of Stillwater…something dark and ancient and evil has its grip on everyone.
The saying goes, still waters run deep, but no one in Stillwater is prepared for just how deep they run, and no one can possibly be ready for what they might find when they reach the bottom of the gray waters of the Narrows.

“This was so much fun to read and I buzzed through it not even realizing how fast I was going. The end was absolutely perfect. Loved it! Malfi is a wonderful storyteller.”

“This horror novel is set in the fictional town of Stillwater, located in western Maryland. It beings after a devastating flood, which brings with it a mysterious and terrifying creature. The town, already struggling with its own decline, faces a new horror as children begin to disappear and strange occurrences follow. This novel blends elements of mystery, suspense, and horror, creating a gripping narrative that slowly builds tension. This is my 5th Malfi read. It's safe to say I will be reading more of his books.”
