From a startling new voice in contemporary Gothic fiction comes a superbly creepy, critically acclaimed debut about the elusive nature of truth, the stories we choose to believe (or not), and how we choose to tell those tales . . .

Everyone knew bestselling novelist Cassandra Tipp had twice got away with murder.

Even her family were convinced of her guilt. So when she disappears, leaving only a long letter behind, they can but suspect that her conscience finally killed her.

But the letter is not what anyone expected. It tells two chilling, darkly disturbing stories. One is a story of children lost to the woods, of husbands made from twigs and leaves and feathers and bones . . .

The other is the story of a little girl trying to make sense of a damaged life lived in the shadows . . .

But which story is true?

Unsettling yet unputdownable, You Let Me In dares to cross the boundary between reality and somewhere else entirely . . .
