The popularity of Bird Box and the ubiquity of the 2018 Netflix adaptation all but guarantee high demand for this outstanding second foray into monsters and madness. But Malerman’s narrative matches the twists and tension of the first novel, and readers are likely to leave this book sufficiently shaken. One of the original novel’s greatest strengths was its exploration of the fear of the unknown, so there may be skepticism about a sequel in which this world and its creatures are familiar. Then an unexpected visitor tempts the paranoid Malorie to risk security for a chance at reconnecting with her past. Malorie must again flee, along with the two now-teenaged youths, and it’s no longer certain that avoiding the sight of the creatures is enough to keep them safe and sane. In the thrilling sequel to Bird Box, the inspiration for the record-breaking Netflix film that starred Sandra Bullock and absolutely riveted Stephen King, New York Times bestselling author Josh Malerman brings unseen horrors to life. It is now 10 years later and Tom and Olympia are 16 years-old. Malorie and her children had to flee the school of the blind after living there for 2 years. This sequel picks up by upending the relative tranquility of the institution when one resident inexplicably becomes mad. Malorie by Josh Malerman is a very highly recommended sequel to Bird Box (2014). It follows the harrowing, blindfolded journey of Malorie, along with two small children, to the sanctuary of an institution filled with the blind. Malerman’s horror sensation Bird Box (2014) introduced a world suddenly filled with bizarre creatures, freakish enough to drive those who see them violently insane.
