From the New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows comes a mesmerizing and chilling novel that's The Village meets Needful Things about what lurks in the shadows of the people you think you know.

It's The Village meets Needful Things in this mesmerizing and chilling novel set in the secluded town of Amity Falls—Ellerie has the chance to have her secret wishes come true, but there's a price to pay. From Erin A. Craig, the New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows.

Ellerie Downing lives in the quiet town of Amity Falls in the Blackspire Mountain range—five narrow peaks stretching into the sky like a grasping hand, bordered by a nearly impenetrable forest of tall pines. The Downings are beekeepers by trade, and the honey their hives produce is celebrated and revered throughout Amity Falls. Though the early townsfolk fought off the devils in the woods, to this day visitors are few and rare. But when a supply party goes missing, some worry the monsters that stalked the region have once more returned.

As fall turns to winter, more strange activities plague the town. They point to a tribe of devilish and mystical creatures who promise to fulfill the residents' deepest desires, however grand and impossible, for just a small favour. But their true intentions are much more sinister. Ellerie finds herself in a race against time before all of Amity Falls, her family, and the boy she loves, go up in flames.

Small Favors is a beautifully creepy, gothic tale, loosely based on the fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin.
