Carrot has moved into the Wonder Museum -  an eclectic collection of taxidermy, shrunken heads, and Mystery Junk owned by her Uncle Earl. For Carrot, it's not creepy at all: she grew up with it. What's creepy is the corridor behind one of the museum walls. There's just no space for a corridor there – or the concrete bunker, or the strange islands beyond the bunker's doors, or the unseen things  in the willow trees.
Carrot has stumbled into a horrifying world, and They are watching her. Strewn among the islands are the remains of Their meals – and Their experiments. And even if she manages to make it home, she can't stop calling Them after her…

Praise for this book

"Innovative, unexpected, and absolutely chilling, T. Kingfisher isn't just breaking into the horror scene, she's breaking it down. With a hammer." - Mira Grant

"Can horror even be this rollicking, this fun, while still delivering on the creepiness, the dread, the ick? In Kingfisher’s hands, it can." - Stephen Graham Jones

"Reads so fast and so effortless that you don t realize how in thrall you are to it. It s the sensation of being a little kid who stayed out too long past dinner and sure, you were having fun, but now it s a moonless night and the forest is dark and you are hopelessly lost. This is righteous, folkloric horror, and the devil is waiting in between these pages." - Chuck Wendig
