Mass extinction breeds madness: Josie confronts a nightmarish glass-face man and her own sanity. A tale of suspense and horror by bestselling author, Michael Park.

*

At her high school graduation in New York City, Josie sees her dead father’s ghost and thinks, ‘Not again.’

He appears with a warning: you have ten days left.

That night, Josie is home alone when a disfigured glass-face man breaks in. He says one word—“burn”—and the next morning, Josie’s single mom is missing. In a desperate search from New York to Kentucky, Josie realizes that the world is descending into a mass extinction event. Worse, the die off has woken something ancient. Time is running out.

In the limestone South, where grass steams from an underground mine fire, Josie learns of the dark bargain that links her mother’s disappearance with the ghost of her father and the terrifying glass-face man.
