From one of our most talented and original new literary voices comes the next great American supernatural novel: a work that explores the dark dimensions of the hometowns and the neighbors we thought we knew.

Some places are too good to be true.

Under a pink moon, there is a perfect little town not found on any map: Wink, New Mexico.

In that town, there are quiet streets lined with pretty houses, houses that conceal the strangest things.

After a couple years of hard traveling, ex-cop Mona Bright inherits her long-dead mother''s home. And the closer Mona gets to her mother''s past, the more she understands that the people of Wink are very, very different . . .

"Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman." -- Library Journal
