Descripción: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Drowning Kind comes a genre-defying new novel, inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, that brilliantly explores the eerie mysteries of childhood and the evils perpetrated by the monsters among us. 1978: At her renowned treatment center in picturesque Vermont, the brilliant psychiatrist Dr. Helen Hildreth is acclaimed for her compassionate work with the mentally ill. But at home with her beloved grandchildren, Vi and Eric, she is simply Gran—preparing meals, caring for them with love, and teaching them how to look after their pets. Then one day, Gran brings home a child: Iris. Silent, hollow-eyed, and feral, Iris does not behave like a normal girl. Still, Violet is excited to have a new friend and invites Iris into their secret Monster Club, where they catalogue monsters and devise ways to defeat them. As Iris starts to open up, the children grow closer, hunting monsters together—because, as Vi says, monsters are everywhere. 2019: Lizzy Shelley, host of the popular podcast Monsters Among Us, arrives in Vermont where a girl has gone missing and a monster sighting has stirred panic. Lizzy is determined to find the truth—because she knows monsters are real. One of them is her sister. Haunting and suspenseful, The Children on the Hill is a chilling exploration of the monsters that live within and the terrifying truths we hide—even from ourselves.
