Set in a harrowing post-apocalyptic world, Bird Box follows Malorie and her two four-year-old children as they embark on a perilous journey blindfolded. Once a safe house offered refuge, now their only path to freedom lies twenty miles down a river teeming with unseen horrors.
In this novel of suspense and survival, Josh Malerman explores how fear reshapes human behavior when sight itself becomes a threat. Malorie’s plan depends on trusting the instincts of her children and the guidance of unlikely allies she met along the way.
Between tense moments on the river and flashbacks to the early days of the outbreak, Bird Box examines themes of trust, resilience and the lengths a parent will go to protect family in a world gone mad.
