by Camilla Bruce
You Let Me In delivers a stunning tale from debut author Camilla Bruce, combining the sinister domestic atmosphere of Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects with the otherwordly thrills of Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
Cassandra Tipp is dead...or is she?
After all, the notorious recluse and eccentric bestselling novelist has always been prone to flights of fancy―everyone in town remembers the shocking events leading up to Cassie's infamous trial (she may have been acquitted, but the insanity defense only stretches so far).
Cassandra Tipp has left behind no body―just her massive fortune, and one final manuscript.
Then again, there are enough bodies in her past―her husband Tommy Tipp, whose mysterious disembowelment has never been solved, and a few years later, the shocking murder-suicide of her father and brother.
Cassandra Tipp will tell you a story―but it will come with a terrible price. What really happened, out there in the woods―and who has Cassie been protecting all along? Read on, if you dare...
"[E]xceptional...Bruce is especially good at raising goosebumps. Fans of Sarah Pinborough will welcome this new talent." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Readers will find themselves engrossed on a wild trip to a parallel, earthly dimension…masterful…an enthralling story, a genre-blender that perplexes…Neil Gaiman fans are a ready audience for this superb debut, but also suggest it to any patron who's ready for something astonishingly different." - Booklist (starred review)
"You Let Me In is a bewitching, beguiling, and deeply unsettling tale of one woman's strange life. It will ensnare you from page one and keep you riveted until the end." - Caitlin Starling, author of The Luminous Dead

"This book is an exquisite rarity...nicely original and authentically folkloric: creepy, detailed, entracing." - Joanne Harris, internationally bestselling author
"Haunting, and harrowing, You Let Me In is the kind of fairy tale that keeps you up at night because the monsters are real. I couldn't look away." - Alix Harrow, Hugo award-winning author
