Part psychological thriller, part dystopian nightmare, this is a new powerful novel from the bestselling author of The Rapture. A seven-year-old girl puts a nail-gun to her grandmother’s neck and fires. An isolated incident, say the experts. The experts are wrong. Across the world, children are killing their families. Is violence contagious? Anthropologist Hesketh Lock has his own problems, but as more acts of child violence sweep the globe, he is forced to acknowledge possibilities that defy the rational principles on which he has staked his life, his career, and, most devastatingly of all, his role as a father.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The Uninvited is a masterclass in creepiness—as unsettling as Margaret Atwood or Kazuo Ishiguro but with modern detail such as Skype calls, industrial espionage, and Twitter. It is this hybrid of haunted souls and capitalist cautionary tale that gives the novel its power.” —Independent (London)
“Gripping…Jensen weaves an eerie, haunting narrative, told in Hesketh’s singular voice, building an unsettling tension as it moves toward a chilling finish.” —Booklist
“Compelling…An intricate, intelligent, nightmarish eco-prophecy delivered in pacey fictional form.” —Kirkus Reviews
