“The Bird Box” is a snapshot of a mad world, a dark fairy tale that will haunt you until the last word!
It waits for you on the other side of the threshold. It… something terrible, something you must never look at. Because just one glance at this creature—this thing? this person?—threatens madness and death.
Humanity no longer exists. A handful of survivors hide in abandoned houses with boarded-up windows, unable to bring themselves to go outside. Melanie, a single mother with two children, finally decides to run from her home-prison—run to where, they say, there are still people, where it is safe. She faces a terrible test: twenty miles down the river in a fragile boat with her eyes tied shut, relying only on the sharp hearing of her little ones—four-year-old children who grew up learning to distinguish sounds in tiny, cramped, dark rooms.
One wrong move—and they’re doomed. Someone walks nearby, someone keeps watching them all the time—an ordinary animal or a monster?
