Description

It’s waiting for you on the other side of the threshold. It’s… something terrible, something that you must never look at. Because one glance at this creature—this device—this person—threatens madness and death.

Humanity has ceased to exist. A handful of survivors hide in abandoned houses with boarded-up windows, not daring to go outside. Melanie, a single mother with two children, finally decides to escape from her house-prison—run toward where, it is said, there are still people, toward where it’s safe. She faces a terrible test: twenty miles down a river in an unreliable boat, with her eyes tied, relying only on the sharp hearing of her little ones—four-year-old children who grew up learning to distinguish sounds in dark, stuffy rooms.

One wrong move—and they’re doomed. Something walks nearby, something constantly watches them—an ordinary animal or a monster?

“Bird Box” is a snapshot of a deranged world, a dark fairy tale that will haunt you until the very last page!
