What Rough Beast

di Mindy McGinnis (Autore)

HarperCollins, 2026

Long-held grudges and ancient evils come to roost in this psychological, speculative horror that's Don't Let the Forest In meets Stranger Things. In a small town like Presnick, nothing stays buried forever... Ava Germaine has learned her lesson: see something, don't say something. Cast out at school, the only place she can find peace is Restoration Acres, the town's animal sanctuary. Though the place sometimes seems more like an animal graveyard than a rehabilitation center, Ava's job there is at least a constant distraction from the night everything went wrong—and the boy she still holds responsible. Micah Harding is always prepared for the worst. As the sheriff’s son, he tries not to do things that reflect poorly on his family, especially since his dad helped him cover up his worst mistake yet. But he knows his secret is bound to come out. Hailey Wagner is sick of being judged. And finally, things are going according to plan—until Ava Germaine starts talking. So if Hailey has to shut her up...she will. As a strange entity begins to stir, ready to awaken—Ava, Micah, and Hailey find themselves wrapped in a centuries-old exchange, while barreling towards the truth of what ties their fates together.
