Reviews"Fracassi's novel hits me like a cross between McCammon and '80s King. Might be one of them summer blockbusters readers love." -- Laird Barron, author of Worse Angels " A Child Alone with Strangers starts out as a slow burn procedural with supernatural elements and inexorably cranks itself into a pulse-pounding symphony of eldritch horrors and all-too-human violence. Philip Fracassi is the best sort of horror writer--one who is unafraid to hunt for light in even the darkest places."-- Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters "Philip Fracassi's range, prolific output, and fast-paced prose are all set to put him on the shelf next to names such as King, Straub, and Thomas Harris . . . . one of the best books of the year." -- Logan England, Signal Horizon, "Fracassi's novel hits me like a cross between McCammon and '80s King.
