Synopsis
As a forensic psychiatrist at New York's leading institution of its kind, Dr. Lily Dominick has evaluated the mental states of some of the country's most dangerous psychotics. But the strangely compelling client she interviewed today -- a man with no name, accused of the most twisted crime -- struck her as somehow different from the others, despite the two impossible claims he made.

Review
"So you're reading The Only Child, Pyper's newest book, and suddenly--kaboom!--the story is shot like a cannon blast across a very dark sky. Exactly the sort of light we pine for."--Josh Malerman, author of Bird Box and Black Mad Wheel
"A seductive gothic thriller for the modern age. Crafted with dark intrigue and cinematic drive, this mesmerizing journey into the heart of a monster is, at once, compelling, eerie and brilliantly satisfying."--Ami McKay, author of The Witches of New York
"Andrew Pyper's The Only Child cleverly re-imagines the 19th century gothic classics while spinning a thrilling, touching, and distinctly 21st century monster story."--Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Disappearance at Devil's Rock
"As much a psychological inquiry as it is an adrenaline-fueled thriller, layered with menace, mystery, and startling revelations that span centuries. A book that begs to be read in one sitting, with the doors locked, the lights low, and a sharp knife and a jug of holy water within reach, just in case."--Benjamin Percy, author of The Dead Lands, Thrill Me, Red Moon and The Wilding
