Near the Bone

By Christina Henry

Book Overview

A woman trapped on a mountain attempts to survive more than one kind of monster, in a dread-inducing horror novel from the national bestselling author Christina Henry.

Mattie can't remember a time before she and William lived alone on a mountain together. She must never make him upset. But when Mattie discovers the mutilated body of a fox in the woods, she realizes that they're not alone after all.

There's something in the woods that wasn't there before, something that makes strange cries in the night, something with sharp teeth and claws.

When three strangers appear on the mountaintop looking for the creature in the woods, Mattie knows their presence will anger William. Terrible things happen when William is angry.

Customer Reviews

Read well.

It’s a good book that reads well if you have the stomach for a little disturbing storyline. I like that it was written well and kept me engaged. Not going to lie but it was a little predictable but I think that’s what they were going for. I still enjoyed the book. The author wrote the book well enough that I did not mind.

All but...

I loved this story!! However... it felt rushed at the end. Almost like she got bored with it and just abruptly wrapped everything up. I would have enjoyed another 100 pages to smooth out some wrinkles.

second book read this year

Glad i started the new year with this book. read in in two days so its great for people in a reading slump.
