David Gale thought that he had it all. He was passing his classes in high school, he had a girl that he was sweet on and he had good friends and a ton of horror movies to share with them. However, when some new neighbors move in down the street, strange things are afoot and when Smith’s Grove starts seeming a little more lifeless than usual, they find that the cause may be vampiric in origin. Armed with knowledge that only hundreds of hours of horror movies can impart, Dave and his friends might be the only ones who can stop...The Dead Next Door!

A novel about desperate mothers, secrets among neighbors, and things women keep hidden in a suburban drama from the author of The Mother's Promise.Small, perfect towns often hold the deepest secrets. Such is the case for Essie and her family. Essie is a new mother, but few of her friends know that in a moment of maternal despair: she once walked away from her newborn, asleep in her carriage in a park. Disaster was avoided and Essie got better. But she still fears what lurks inside her, even as her daughter gets older and she has a second baby. When a new woman moves next door to Essie, she is an immediate object of curiosity in this neighborhood. Why single, when everyone else is married, with kids? Why renting, when everyone else owns? What mysterious job does she have? And why is she so fascinated with Essie? As the two women grow closer and Essie's friends disapprove, it starts to become clear that Isabelle's choice of neighborhood was no accident. And that her presence might bring even more secrets to light.The Family Next Door is Sally Hepworth at her very best: at once a deeply moving portrait of family drama and a compelling mystery that will keep you hooked until the very last page.

PrologueIn the summer of 1950, thirty-six miles off the coast of Galveston, TX, N 29º 2' 42.774" W 94º 21' 2.1096", to be precise--there was a splash. A pod, no bigger than a baseball, sank slowly downward into the cool darkness below. As it descended, the pod began to unfurl--expanding, stretching, and twisting into the shape of a man. The small splash sent a tiny ripple radiating across the water. The ripple was overtaken by a wave and then pulled back into a lull. It traveled across the surface of the Gulf before coming to rest on a sandy shore. Not even a minute after the ripple fell gently against the sand, a man stepped out of the water. His black suit impeccably tailored and without a speck of water. The man paused along the shoreline. Seemingly to absorb the sound and energy of the small city, like a tourist raised from the murky depths. For a split second his silhouette blurred against the backdrop of the water, as every molecule in his body vibrated and pulsed with an unseen power. When the pulsating stopped, the man straightened his tie and strode across the beach toward the city. His footprints especially light, as the individual grains of sand rolled away from his shoes.
