The Farmhouse

When Emily Hauk's mother dies, it's time for her and her husband, Josh, to finally leave San Francisco. A farm in rural Nebraska is everything they want for a fresh start: clear skies, low costs, and distance from the grief back home. They should have asked why the farm was for sale. Three years ago, a teenage girl went missing from the farm. Soon after, the girl's mother mysteriously died. The deeper Emily digs, the more stories she finds of women with a connection to her new home who've met their own dark ends.The farmhouse was meant to be Emily's fresh start, but with each passing day, her sanctuary slips further away. The barn seems to move throughout her property, as though chasing her. Her mother's favorite music drifts across the corn. She swears she saw blood in one of the farmhand's trucks. And the screams that wake her are not foxes, no matter how many times her husband says otherwise.

"Conradt has crafted a superb thriller with tension so thick you feel like you might drown in it. Her characters are complex and compelling, the jump scares come right off the page, and you will find yourself wondering if you are going just as mad as our poor gaslit heroine. A triumphantly creepy novel that you'll want to keep in your freezer when you go to sleep, and will have you side-eying every barn you pass." --Kate Wiley, author of The Killer's Daughter
