Seidlinger, author of Anybody Home?
“[…] a haunting blend of horror and mystery that trails a woman marred by tragedy who buries herself in her work, only to find herself yanked out by the terrifying sounds of her own missing child’s torment.” —Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity
“Presenting itself as a run-of-the-mill missing-child thriller, [The Screaming Child] hauntingly transforms into an emotionally resonant portrait of grief, a psychological study of one woman’s attempt to come to terms with a horror that may never have resolution.” ��Becky Spratford, Library Journal
