The Hive

An epic, otherworldly horror novel – in the tradition of Black River Orchard and American Elsewhere – about a wave of collective obsession and paranoia sweeping over an American suburb. From the Bram Stoker Award-winning, bestseller-caliber author of Come with Me.

The residents of Mariner's Cove are changing. After a violent storm, a collective obsession rapidly develops: random everyday objects lying on lawns, streets, and the shore seem to draw them in. There is an object for almost everyone – and each one holds a power over its finder that soon turns into unshakable infatuation. They hide their things from one another, fixate on them mentally, and would do anything – truly anything – to protect them.

The collective hum of bees: a boy discovers a strange, inexplicable power within himself. Is its appearance connected to the increasingly bizarre and dangerous behavior of the residents? Was it given to him to avert the impending doom from this small coastal community – or does it pursue a darker purpose?

All hail the Dragon. All eyes are now on him. The residents of Mariner's Cove are watching him. They move like a single organism – and will do anything to complete their single-minded plan. They will not be stopped.
