Daughter's Drawings, (Hardcover)

<p>"I think someone broke into your car."</p><p><br></p><p>It was during a pit stop at a rural diner that we heard these words, and began the years-long terror that would change our lives forever. Someone had indeed broken into our car, but they had ignored the laptops and tablets and luggage.</p><p>All they took was our daughter's most prized possession: a folder full of her artwork.</p><p><br></p><p>We didn't know what to think when Katie's works started coming back to us, one slightly-amended piece of art at a time. But when this connoisseur of our six-year-old daughter's creations began bringing the subjects of our her drawings to life in twisted, disturbing ways, we knew that we were dealing with a danger worse than any of us could have ever imagined.</p><p>Based on the viral short story of the same name, Daughter's Drawings is the "surreal, methodical, and tormenting" (Felix Blackwell, <em>Stolen Tongues</em>) tale of a strange stalker's obsession and the horror of stolen innocence, a relentless onslaught of anxiety that dissects every parent's worst nightmare and confronts readers with the question, "How far would you go to protect the people you love?"</p><p><br></p><p><strong>PRAISE FOR DAUGHTER'S DRAWINGS</strong></p><p>"Daughter's Drawings is an eight-cylinder, 450 hp, high-octane thriller whose engine is already rumbling on page 1. From there, it's full scream ahead, as Nick Botic lays on the gas and roars into a story of steadily escalating tension and terror. A strong debut, <em>Daughter's Drawings</em> is one lean, mean machine. Strap in."</p><p>- John Langan, author of <em>Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies</em></p><p><br></p><p>"<em>Daughter's Drawings</em> is a harrowing Hero's Journey through nightmare realms of profound grimness. The fact that Botic tells such a story in clean, measured prose while also knowing when to press the rocket fuel pedal is a testament to his skill, which is considerable. This novel is both a confident debut and a promise of more good things to come."</p><p>- Matt Cardin, author of <em>To Rouse Leviathan</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>"</em>When I close my eyes at night I no longer see soft memories, morning anxieties, or chronological sheep. No - my nights are now terrorized by the unspeakable things I saw in Nick Botic's debut novel, <em>Daughter's Drawings</em>. At first, I enjoyed the easy reading, the seamless way the prose relaxed me into a manageable and familiar universe. However, it wasn't long before the creeping, sinister nature of Botic's world was revealed - and the horrible things inside of it. Be wary, those who harken dire warnings, for this book made me feel something few other horror novels have managed: <em>afraid." </em></p><p>- C.K.
