Pray they are hungry.

Freshly divorced and back in her childhood home, Kara is feeling adrift and uncertain about her future. When she stumbles upon a mysterious hole in the wall of her uncle's house, curiosity gets the better of her. Behind it, she discovers a bizarre bunker with graffiti that reads, Pray they are hungry. Intrigued and a bit unsettled, Kara delves deeper into the bunker, propelling herself into an enthralling and perilous adventure.

As she explores further, Kara realises the bunker conceals a dark secret: portals that lead to countless alternate realities. These worlds are strange, unfathomable, and inexplicably connected, each more mysterious than the last. However, the thrill of discovery is tainted by a lurking terror, for these alternate realms are haunted by monstrous creatures capable of hearing her very thoughts. The more she fears them, the stronger they become, feeding off her dread.

In her quest to unravel the secrets of these eerie dimensions, Kara must confront her deepest anxieties and summon courage she never knew she had. Her journey becomes a gripping test of wits and bravery, where the line between reality and nightmare blurs.

Innovative, unexpected, and absolutely chilling. - Mira Grant, Nebula Award-winning author
