Bedfellow

A mysterious intruder takes hold of a family’s memory and mind in this “impressively inventive . . . delightfully disturbing” horror novel (Kirkus Reviews).First it first broke into the house. But somehow the thing would insinuate itself into the Lund family household. At first, the Lunds were bemused. Vaguely human-shaped, its constantly-changing cravings seemed disturbing, but time has a way of normalizing the extreme. Wasn’t it always there, part of their lives?As the family make more and greater sacrifices in service to the beast, the thrall that binds them begins to break down. Choices must be made. Prices must be paid. And the Lunds must pit their wits against a creature determined to never let them go.

Booklist

"Filled with claustrophobic fear within a terrifying occult frame, this is a great choice for readers who like their horror with a side of intense psychological suspense."

Kirkus Reviews

"A fascinating novel laden with fine ideas."

Aurealis Magazine Praise for Jeremy Shipp

"A dark fantasy that is also an exceptional psychological horror that gets weirder and weirder to a titillating climax. Completely a must read."

Peter Straub

“Jeremy C. Shipp’s boldness, daring, originality, and sheer smarts make him one of the most vital younger writers who have colonized horror literature in the past decade. Shipp’s modernist clarity, plus his willingness to risk damn near everything, put him up at the head of the pack with the very best.”

Jack Ketchum

“Shipp’s clear, insistent voice pulls you down into the rabbit hole and doesn’t let go.”
