"Do not, under any circumstance, read when you're alone. One of the most disturbing novels I've read in years." -Danielle Trussoni, New York Times Book Review"This book makes Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay look like a cakewalk. This is THE MOST intense psychological horror you have ever read. Seriously. It makes Out by Natsuo Kirino look tame." –Library Journal (Starred Review)"Anybody Home? is an immersive novel that deconstructs home invasions for sport, resulting in addictive commentary on the horror genre itself." –Foreword Reviews (Starred Review)"Harrowing and tremendously upsetting, Anybody Home? flips the home invasion genre on its head for a new generation of readers. I felt like I was reading something I shouldn't have been reading. You'll be checking your locks regularly after reading this nasty little morsel." –Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke"Anybody Home? is Natural Born Killers for a generation that grew up on Funny Games, The Purge, and Twitter.

"In Anybody Home?, Michael J. Seidlinger so masterfully crafts an atmosphere of pure terror that it had me checking to make sure my front door was locked, for fear of home invaders–or maybe Seidlinger himself." –Rob Hart, author of The Paradox Hotel"A bone-chilling, immersive horror novel that explores fear, obsession, voyeurism, and senseless violence. Seidlinger takes an ax to the illusion of suburban safety. Unsettling, unflinching, and unforgettable. Anybody Home? is one of the most terrifying books I've ever read." –Rachel Harrison, author of Cackle and Such Sharp Teeth"Michael J. Seidlinger is a true innovator. The narrative shards of Anybody Home? cascade over the reader in a collage of troubling, sometimes half-seen images, and the wicked, insinuating, deeply unsettling voice weaves through the back of your mind and crouches in your dreams. A chilling and unforgettable book." –Dan Chaon, author of Sleepwalk"With this sinister and alluring story of home invasions, Michael Seidlinger has invented a new type of horror novel, one that simultaneously chronicles the characters' transgressions and the audience's reactions.
