About this title

Synopsis

On Maple Drive, everything is perfect—or at least it was.
Sarah and Tom Miller live the kind of quiet suburban life that people dream of: a cozy home, a well-tended garden, and their bright, imaginative daughter, Lily. When Sarah impulsively brings home a cream-colored Mini Lop rabbit named Bartholomew, it feels like a harmless addition to their picture-perfect world.

But from the moment Bartholomew arrives, something changes. The air feels heavier. The neighbors grow tense. Forgotten memories and strange coincidences ripple through the town like cracks in porcelain.

Bartholomew is not what he seems. Beneath his soft fur and calm eyes lies an ancient, unnerving intelligence—a force that feeds not on violence, but on attention, affection, and obedience. His quiet influence seeps into every corner of Maple Drive, turning love into dependence, empathy into control, and harmony into worship.

As Sarah begins to sense the truth, she finds herself trapped in a web of subtle manipulation that stretches far beyond her family. Lily’s innocent conversations with the rabbit take on a prophetic tone. Neighbors begin to behave like followers. And the peaceful suburb transforms into a chilling commune ruled by an all-seeing presence with a deceptively gentle face.

Bartholomew is a psychological horror novel about devotion, influence, and the seductive power of calm authority. Blending suburban dread with cosmic unease, it explores how evil can masquerade as comfort—and how the smallest creature can hold dominion over an entire community.

Perfect for readers of The Silent Patient, Pet Sematary, and The Stepford Wives, this haunting story asks one lingering question:
When the thing you love most begins to love you back, how much of yourself are you willing to give?
