About this audiobook
Monday morning in a small Minnesota town looks like every other Monday. Ava walks to the bus stop. Mason scrolls his phone on the couch. Elaine reviews a spreadsheet at her desk. Matthew drives to work past a woman who wasn't on the sidewalk a second ago.
Nobody notices the wrongness yet. That's the point.
By nightfall, Matthew Larson's wife and two children have vanished from their home — no broken locks, no signs of struggle, nothing the police can call a crime. All that's left is a letter with no postmark, signed by a stranger named Charles, thanking Matthew for letting his family be lent.
The Lendings is a slow-burn paranormal thriller about a system old enough to move through ordinary lives without ever being seen — and about the quiet horror of realizing the people around you may not be who they seem. If you like your scares patient, your dread bureaucratic, and your small towns hiding something underneath the snow, start here.
The story continues in Book Two.
