Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias meet Dracula in this New York Times best-selling horror novel about a women's book club that must do battle with a mysterious newcomer to their small Southern town.

Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families.

One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and Patricia has already invited him in.

Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia’s life and try to take everything she took for granted—including the book club—but she won’t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects, and cinematic music!

In love with this!

I loved Patricia and Mrs. Greene. Their voices were so nostalgic to me and they brought the story to life! The story was gripping and I can’t wait to read more from Grady

Loved it!

This was my first graphic audio book and I absolutely loved the full cast of characters, sound effects and music. The story took a twist I didn't expect and

I love this Graphic Audio version

How to get an immortal to stop talking

This book's dramatization was superb. I felt for Patricia, who was trying to do the right thing but was portrayed as crazy by her rat-bastard husband. I was so immersed in what happened afterward when Mrs. Green and the book club ladies struggled to get James Harris under control. Let's say my mind was in shock. They did the right thing. Trying not to spoil the book too much, but damn!

Excellent voice acting!

This Graphic Audio production only solidifies the theory that this novel would make a fantastic TV series.
