Bird Box

IF YOU’VE SEEN WHAT’S OUT THERE… IT’S ALREADY TOO LATE Malorie raises the children the only way she can: indoors, with the doors locked, the curtains closed, and mattresses nailed over the windows. The children sleep in the bedroom across the hall, but soon she will have to wake them and blindfold them. Today they will risk everything. Today they will leave the house. Josh Malerman’s New York Times bestselling Bird Box is a terrifying psychological thriller that will haunt you long after reading.

Bird Box is a quick read, it only took me a couple nights of reading before I went to bed, but it’s a tightly written story without needless exposition or diversions from the main story, for which I’m grateful because this is a solid horror / suspense story that cuts right to the heart of things that I’m personally frightened by: the unseen, the unknown, loss of mental capacity, and the possibility that I’ll injury someone that I care for in my own insanity. There’s a movie, which I’d seen back in 2018 when it was released and a sequel to the movie was just released. I believe the put this book on sale for $2 at the time and I scooped it up. There’s a written sequel to the book which goes in a different direction than the movie sequel, so of course that’s on my wishlist now too.
