Lullaby – Paperback

As long as he was quiet, he didn’t exist.

The lullaby had to be sung thirteen times before midnight. They got halfway.

Tonight, every adult in Saltholme, a small town in the Lincolnshire Fens, falls asleep with their eyes open. They wander the streets, not recognising their own children, and they kill anything that makes a sound.

Sixteen-year-old Ruby must carry her eight-month-old brother through the night, knowing he could cry at any second. Ethan and his little sister are trapped in their flat with their own parents. Marcus and Emma lie hidden under a car on a street full of wandering grown-ups.

Six hours until dawn. Make no sound.

A gripping folk-horror novella about one night, one town, and the silence families keep.
