From Dathan Auerbach, the author of the horror sensation Penpal, a hauntingly dark novel about a young boy who goes missing, and the brother who won\'t stop looking for him.
That he should have stopped looking..
Except Ben misses the most important thing of all.
He knows the store has much to show him, so he keeps searching.
But he\'s in the right place.
With the graffitied baler that shudders and groans and beckons.
With his boss.
With the people.
Ben can feel there\'s something wrong there.
Now twenty and desperate for work, Ben takes a job on the night stock crew at the only place that will have him: the store that blinked Eric out of existence.
Still searching, while his stepmother sits and waits and whispers for Eric, refusing to leave the house that Ben\'s father can no longer afford.
Five years later, Ben is still looking for his brother.
Vanished into the sticky air of the Florida Panhandle.
His brother was gone.
Ben looked away for only a second at the grocery store, but that was all it took.
Eric disappeared when he was three years old.
