Bird Box by Josh Mallerman



Read January 2019.

This book tells the horrific tale of a world where you cannot look outside, without risking madness, violence and death.
Five years after the horror began, Malorie and her two children must risk leaving the abandoned house that has become their home, to risk a journey to find a place of safety - and their only choice is to do this blindfolded, to avoid the madness outside.

I have not read a horror tale quite like this since The Road, in the sense that I had to keep reading until Malorie and the children were safe. This is a very scary tale, full of suspense and is made worse by the fact that you never know the nature of the "monsters" that cause the madness.

I bought this book some months before reading it, after seeing it recommended on Goodreads as a great horror novel, and I really enjoyed it. It has recently been made into a Netflix film starring Sandra Bullock.
