Malorie is the second literary fiction book in the Bird Box series by author Josh Malerman.
Bestselling author Josh Malerman brings unprecedented horrors to life.
Twelve years after Malorie and the boys rowed up the river to safety, the blindfold is still the only thing standing between sanity and madness. A glimpse of the creatures that stalk the world will propel one to unspeakable violence.
What Malorie can do is survive – and pass on her fierce will to do it to her children. Don’t be lazy, she told them. Do not remove your blindfold. And don’t look.
And with it, Malorie allowed herself hope for the first time.
Someone very close to her, someone she believes is dead, may be alive.
Malorie had lost so much: her sister, a house full of mean people, and any chance at a normal life. Her life means returning to a world filled with unknowable horrors – and risking the lives of her children once again.
Creatures aren’t the only thing Malorie fears: There are people who claim to have captured and experimented on creatures. Curses of monstrous inventions and dangerous new ideas. The creatures themselves had changed into something even more terrifying.
Malorie must make a painful choice: live by the rules of survival that have helped her so much, or venture into the dark and find hope again.
