Come With Me

A masterful, heart-palpitating novel of small-town horror and psychological dread from a Bram Stoker nominee.

"Malfi is a modern-day Algernon Blackwood... I'm gonna be talking about this book for years"
JOSH MALERMAN, author of Bird Box

Aaron Decker's life changes one December morning when his wife Allison is killed. Haunted by her absence--and her ghost--Aaron goes through her belongings, where he finds a receipt for a motel room in another part of the country. Piloted by grief and an increasing sense of curiosity, Aaron embarks on a journey to discover what Allison had been doing in the weeks prior to her death.

Yet Aaron is unprepared to discover the dark secrets Allison kept, the death and horror that make up the tapestry of her hidden life. And with each dark secret revealed, Aaron becomes more and more consumed by his obsession to learn the terrifying truth about the woman who had been his wife, even if it puts his own life at risk.

Hooked for 50 pages. Begged to be off the hook immediately after.

A story about a man who just lost his wife from a mall shooting, and the wild journey that follows when he decides to investigate an old receipt he finds in her things.

This was definitely a ride. The book takes you on ups and downs and keeps you guessing until the end. I understand needing prose to set the atmosphere, especially with the paranormal-adjacent happenings (Is it her? Is he just crazy?), but I felt it could have been cut down a bit. All in all a fun thriller!

I'm a huge Malfi fan. He has gorgeous, lyrical writing, suspense, and heart. Come With Me tells of a grief-stricken husband who realizes that his murdered wife was hiding a secret. The ending was especially satisfying and clever. I recommend this read.
