Creepy, powerful, wonderfully twisted.--New York Times bestselling author Jonathan MaberryDon't Go in the Basement In a brutal spasm of bad luck, Tom and Jenny Decker lose both their cheap Manhattan apartment and their barely-above-minimum-wage jobs.

But there are dark secrets galore in the Deckers' new/old house. The place has a violent past. There's a thing in the basement, a bizarre chrysalis Tom conceals from Jenny. Touching it makes him feel like a winner, like he can tackle any challenge--the mortgage, the commute, impending fatherhood. Until the night everything goes horribly wrong and the Deckers' dream life is exposed as the phantom it always was. The night the chrysalis starts to hatch.
