The Caretaker

STOP PRESS! HOLLYWOOD TAKES ON THE CARETAKER ! To be adapted by Universal Studios. . . Horror maestro David Bruckner set to direct. . . Sydney Sweeney attached to star and produce. . . Follow the Rites. . . Nothing less than the survival of humanity is at stake. From Marcus Kliewer, a new 'titan of the macabre and unsettling' (Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author), comes a supernatural horror about a young woman who accepts a caretaking job from Craigslist, only to discover the position has consequences far greater-and more dangerous-than she ever could have imagined. EXCITING OPPORTUNITY: Caretaker urgently needed. Three days of work. Competitive pay. Serious applicants ONLY. Macy Mullins can't say why the job posting grabbed her attention-it had the pull of a fisherman's lure, barbed hook and all-vaguely ominous. But after an endless string of failed job interviews, she's not exactly in the position to be picky. She has rent to pay, groceries to buy, and a younger sister to provide for. Besides, it's only three days' work. . . Three days, cooped up in a stranger's house, surrounded by Oregon Coast wilderness. What starts as a peculiar side gig soon becomes a waking nightmare. An incomprehensible evil may dwell on this property-and Macy Mullins might just be the only thing standing between it, and the rest of humanity. Follow the Rites. . . Follow the Rites. . .
