What should be a cozy and fun-filled weekend deep in the English countryside takes a sinister turn in Ruth Wares suspenseful, compulsive, and darkly twisted psychological thriller.

Sometimes the only thing to fearis yourself.

When reclusive writer Leonora is invited to the English countryside for a weekend away, she reluctantly agrees to make the trip. But as the first night falls, revelations unfold among friends old and new, an unnerving memory shatters Leonoras reserve, and a haunting realization creeps in: the party is not alone in the woods.
