Oscar (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781964642062)

Close your eyes and hold your breath-but beware... The most chilling horrors are those that lurk in plain sight...

In this spine-chilling thriller, a quaint Chicago church becomes the stage for unspeakable horrors when an innocent child's plaything transforms into a vessel of terror.

When Oscar-a seemingly innocent puppet with bright red hair and a stitched, ever-smiling face-mysteriously arrives with promises of joy and revival, laughter fades, and children fall silent. Only seventeen-year-old Sunday school teachers Emma and Brianna sense the malevolent presence lurking beneath the puppet's charm.

As nightmares seep into waking life, the church sinks deeper under Oscar's shadow. To break his grip, they must uncover the puppet's origins before it consumes the most vulnerable-and wield Brianna's empathic gift as their only defense. But the very power that could save the congregation may also be the force that destroys them.
