The Last House on Needless Street is a shocking and immersive read perfect for fans of
Gone Girl and
The Haunting of Hill House.In a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods lives a family of three.
A teenage girl who isn’t allowed outside, not after last time.
A man who drinks alone in front of his TV, trying to ignore the gaps in his memory.
And a house cat who loves napping and reading the Bible.
An unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door, what is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all…

—
The New York Times“[T]he most powerful narratives in the genre manage to create an unshakable sense of unease, and that’s exactly what this novel does … a must-read for those who like the kind of labyrinthine narratives that pull the rug out from under you, sending you tumbling into a dark, dark room.”

New York Times bestselling author of

New York Times bestselling author of
The Fireman“A breathtakingly ambitious book, gorgeously written, and never once shies away from showing you its fangs and its beautiful blood-filled heart. Stop reading this blurb already and open the damn book.”

— T. Kingfisher, author of
The Hollow Places“Ward ably handles the series of nested revelations of the truth about the house’s inhabitants and how they connect to Ted’s own childhood, all the while maintaining a propulsive, suspenseful tone. Recommended for anyone interested in horror with well-realized characters and a claustrophobic, intense setting.”
