That Pale Host
“One need not be a chamber to be haunted…”
Charlotte brings her baby girl home from the hospital to the usual sleep deprivation and worries of a new mom, but something else has changed. Nightmares and moving shadows fill her with dread, and something or someone seems to be watching her.
As her daughter grows, so does Charlotte’s fear. Whoever is watching has a message and will do anything to make her understand.
Even tear her family, her faith, and her self apart.
“Hauntingly thoughtful, THAT PALE HOST is more than a psychological thriller. McCary's moving debut grapples with mental health, abuse, and the overcoming power of love and faith.”
-Cathy McCrumb, CHRISTY award-nominated author of RECORDER
“A gripping, mesmerizing story with a main character who could be any one of us. Filled with heartache and perseverance and the things that haunt us—both seen and unseen—THAT PALE HOST is a compelling look at the fear and broken beauty of the human condition.”
-NYT bestselling author Tosca Lee
