Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman

Incidents Around the House is the spookiest novel I have read this year. I don't spook easily but creepy kids freak me out. Bela is only 8 years old and their is a entity that asks her " Can I go inside your heart"? Bela calls her other mommy. 

Other mommy is getting restless and others are starting to see her. It's obvious other mommy wants Bela. Other mommy used to hide in the closet but now she's out and about and things are aren't look so great for Bela and her family.

Told via the point of view of Bela you get to experience all the things grownups think kids don't see or hear. Kids know more than we give them credit for and Bela shows us this. Malerman captures the fear that kids experience. 

This book is over 400 pages long but don't let that scare you because time flys when you read it.
