A chilling new novel from the author of Alice and Lost Boy

Near the Bone export B-format edition follows the story of Mattie, who can't remember a time before she and William lived alone on a mountain together. She knows she must never make him upset. But when Mattie discovers the mutilated body of a fox in the woods, she realises 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.
