Here’s a quick description, followed by the full cover reveal—it’s by Black Kat Design, based on an image by Jonathan Kambouris/Gallery Stock—and a brief (but bloody) excerpt from
The Violence.
Chelsea Martin appears to be the perfect housewife: married to her high school sweetheart, the mother of two daughters, keeper of an immaculate home.
But Chelsea’s husband has turned their house into a prison; he has been abusing her for years, cutting off her independence, autonomy, and support. She has nowhere to turn, not even to her narcissistic mother, Patricia, who is more concerned with maintaining the appearance of an ideal family than she is with her daughter’s actual well-being. And Chelsea is worried that her daughters will be trapped just as she is—then a mysterious illness sweeps the nation.
