Notes From Your Bookseller

Darcy Coates makes her official YA debut, bringing all that atmospheric horror to a younger audience, with no less terror. If you’ve loved Coates before, you’ll continue to love her with Where He Can’t Find You.

DON'T WALK ALONE, OR THE STITCHER WILL FIND YOU.

Abby Ward lives in a town haunted by disappearances. People vanish, and when they're found, their bodies have been dismembered and sewn back together in unnatural ways. But is it the work of a human killer...or something far darker?

DON'T STAY OUT LATE, OR THE STITCHER WILL TAKE YOU.

She and her younger sister live by a strict set of rules designed to keep them safe-which is why it's such a shock when Hope is taken. Desperate to get her back, Abby tells the police everything she knows, but they claim their hands are tied.

DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES, OR THE STITCHER WILL REMAKE YOU.

With every hour precious, Abby and her friends are caught in a desperate game of cat and mouse. They have to get Hope back. Quickly. Before too much of her is cut away. And before everything they care about is swallowed up by the darkness waiting in the tunnels beneath the home they thought they knew.

“Doubtful, Illinois, was a glue trap. People sometimes came in, but they very rarely left.”

Abby and friends Rhys, Connor, and Riya have rules to keep themselves safe and avoid getting taken by the Stitcher. The serial killer preys on people in this former mining town, stitching victims’ body parts together with red thread. The four teenagers, who call themselves the Jackrabbits, keep tabs on the Stitcher’s activities, but the Doubtful police seem unable or unwilling to solve the case. Officer Thompson, a new arrival from New York City seeking a quieter place after years of policing in the big city, is trying to learn more about the town. His teenage daughter, Jen, struggles to believe that the Jackrabbits’ warnings are true—but things are getting worse in Doubtful. Technology is failing, and the Jackrabbits are having nightmares—signs that the Stitcher is gearing up to take another victim. In this page-turning horror story, everyone is at risk of falling into the Stitcher’s clutches, no matter how careful they are. The rural Midwestern setting may seem familiar, but the evil that haunts Doubtful permeates the pages. Creepy imagery offsets scenes of amateur detective work. First-person chapters tell stories of those affected by the Stitcher; the rest follow the teen protagonists in the third person. Most characters read white; Riya is cued South Asian. Final art not seen.

A small-town nightmare unfolds in this terrifying tale. (Paranormal horror. 14-18)
