Berta and Bob Henderson have plenty of love for their children-and enough even for a foster child. When Annie, a young amnesiac found wandering the streets of a nearby city, comes into their home, bad things begin to happen.

Horror desk

Carolyn Haines weaves an unsettling domestic nightmare in The Darkling, centering on the Henderson family as they welcome Annie, a vulnerable young amnesiac, into their home. What begins as an act of charity quietly curdles into dread as an escalating series of grim occurrences tests the family's bonds. Rather than relying on sudden shocks, the novel builds an intimate, slow-burn atmosphere of unease, anchoring its horror in the quiet disruption of a household and the chilling unpredictability of a stranger under the roof. It is a tense, character-driven psychological piece that will resonate most with readers who appreciate subtle, slow-building dread and domestic tension.
