![]() ![]() ![]() The kids are now 16 and don’t always see eye-to-eye with Mom’s strict survival rules. Our trio are ensconced in a relatively cushy refuge at a deserted summer camp that just happens to have more than ten years of canned goods, seeds to plant, a well, and a library, and no one else has found it. ![]() Malorie figures the suckers can drive you nuts by just touching you now and, in the midst of the homicidal chaos, takes off with the two kids (all blindfolded). Malorie and her children – Tom and Olympia, who remain blindfolded all the time and have gained preternatural hearing abilities – have been at the school for two years when a blind woman is driven insane by a creature. Eventually, Malorie Walsh, the protagonist, and her two four-year-old children make a blindfolded trek and arrive at a school for the blind that she considers a safe place. If you see one, you are driven murderously and often suicidally mad. ![]() The first book’s premise: terrifying creatures have invaded Earth. That said, I can’t imagine many people have escaped at least a meme or two that spill beans anyway. If you haven’t read Bird Box or seen the Netflix version of it (which differs from the book), you are hereby notified. Malorie is a sequel to Josh Malerman’s first book, Bird Box (2014), so I need to warn you there are spoilers below. ![]()
