About this listen
A woman trapped on a mountain attempts to survive more than one kind of monster, in a dread-inducing horror novel from the national best-selling author Christina Henry.
Mattie can't remember a time before she and William lived alone on a mountain together. She must never make him upset. But when Mattie discovers the mutilated body of a fox in the woods, she realizes that they’re not alone after all.
There’s something in the woods that wasn’t there before, something that makes strange cries in the night, something with sharp teeth and claws.
When three strangers appear on the mountaintop looking for the creature in the woods, Mattie knows their presence will anger William. Terrible things happen when William is angry.

It's not safe for anyone alone in the woods. There are predators that come out at night: critters and coyotes, snakes and wolves. But the woman in the red jacket has no choice. Not since the Crisis came, decimated the population, and sent those who survived fleeing into quarantine camps that serve as breeding grounds for death, destruction, and disease. She is just a woman trying not to get killed in a world that doesn't look anything like the one she grew up in, the one that was perfectly sane and normal and boring until three months ago.

But then Ben and a friend stumble across the headless body of a child in the woods.

This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.

A group of close friends gathers at a secluded cabin in the wintry mountains of Colorado for a final holiday hurrah. Instead, it may be their last stand. First a massive blizzard leaves them marooned. Then the more chilling realization: Something is lurking in the woods, watching them, waiting.... Now a weekend of family, friends, and fun has turned into a test of love and loyalty in the face of inhuman horrors. The only hope for those huddled inside is to fight - tooth and nail, bullet and blade - for their lives. Otherwise, they’ll end up like the monsters’ other victims: bright pools of blood on glittering snow, screams lost in the vast mountains.

The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there - which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier.

Critic reviews
"It's full of magic and passion and courage, set against a convincing historical backdrop.... Henry's spare, muscular prose is a delight. I loved this novel." (Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches)
"Multiple twists keep the reader guessing, and the fluid writing is enthralling.... This is a fine addition to the shelves of any fan of children's classics and their modern subversions." (Publishers Weekly)
"This wild, unrelenting tale, full to the brim with the freedom and violence of young boys who never want to grow up, will appeal to fans of dark fantasy." (Booklist)
“Near the Bone features compelling and creative characters, descriptions of snow so realistic that they'll make you reach for a blanket and a monster so terrifying that it is sure to haunt the dreams of even the most stoic reader.... Near the Bone is a terror-ridden yet poetic hike that will leave your nerves frazzled and heart.” (BookPage)

The girl was placed in the witness protection program, and the case went cold, but years later, Grens is still haunted by the seemingly random slaying and the little girl who was spared.

Seven years after first contact, Providence Five launches. It is an enormous and deadly warship, built to protect humanity from its greatest ever threat. On board is a crew of just four - tasked with monitoring the ship and reporting the war's progress to a mesmerized global audience by way of social media. But while pursuing the enemy across space, Gilly, Talia, Anders, and Jackson confront the unthinkable: Their communications are cut, their ship decreasingly trustworthy and effective. To survive, they must win a fight that is suddenly and terrifyingly real.

In 1993, twin sisters Kennedy and Carter Wynn are embracing the grunge era and testing every limit in their privileged Richmond suburb. But after a night of partying in the woods, Kennedy's best friend, Haley, is murdered, and suspicion quickly falls upon Kennedy. She can't remember anything about the night in question, and this, along with the damning testimony from a college boy who both Kennedy and Haley loved, is enough to force Kennedy to enter a guilty plea. In 2008, Kennedy is released into a world that has moved on without her.

Way Overhyped
The story is good, but the middle just drags on for too long. I get the idea behind the main character, but I was super frustrated by her. The other 3 acted so stupid about everything.
This was overhyped and disappointing as a creature feature. Psychological thriller, definitely.
It was still good, but cut 2 hours out of the middle.

The mind of domestic violence
It was sometimes a terrifying listen, definitely kept my attention. It was fascinating to hear the thoughts of a kidnapped and domestic violence victim, which is almost never explored. Why do they stay? Why don’t they fight back? The questions are answered here. That being said I think we understood that the protagonist was a victim and we didn’t need to constantly be reminded in every passage. Overall I would still recommend this audiobook.

Fast-Paced
Engaging novel, but not for the squeamish. Trigger Warning: kidnapping, domestic violence, sexual assault, and miscarriage

Amazing
A strong female character lead who doesn't know shows that a person no matter how big a victim has strength and power. Also comes in a horror novel which only adds to an already amazing premise.

Super Tense and Heavy
I flew through this book because I couldn't stand to leave the story unfinished. It was hard to listen to such disturbing and horrific events but I felt compelled to see it through. I only wish the ending was a little longer to make it more satisfying.

First thing, William was batshit, a sick piece of shit and it's so unfortunate that Samantha's mom hadn't seen the signs. That man ruined their lives, took advantage of a child for YEARS and made that poor girl feel worthless. Next . . . WTF WAS THAT CREATURE!!! Literally, stalked them and picked them off. But I also feel like it was trying to protect Samantha. I mean, it TORE William up! Samantha wasn't a threat. She was just as helpless as it's young. Regardless, really good story, but crazy.

Near The Bone
This story definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. I finished reading it faster than usual. I was disappointed at the end because I was left with too many unanswered questions.

Decent
I’m a fan of Christina Henry. This was very much her story. A very interesting read. I don’t agree with the comments about sounding like a three year old. I think they voice change was appropriate for the story.

Perfect 10, Zero Notes.
There's a whole lot of pissy pick-me girl misogynists going off in these negative reviews...
