The babysitter lives / Stephen Graham Jones.

London : Titan Books, 2025.

304 pages ; 20 cm

A mother carries her six-year-old daughter into the tiled bathroom where the bathtub is already running, is overflowing, and for a moment the girl calms, seeing her little brother floating facedown in the water, but then this mother is guiding her face-first down into that water, that, as it turns out, isn't just water but scalding water. When high school senior Charlotte agrees to babysit the Wilbanks twins, she plans to put the six-year-olds to bed early and spend a quiet night studying. Charlotte's last babysitting gig almost ended in tragedy, when her young charge sleepwalked unnoticed into the middle of the street. But the house is filled with mysterious noises and secrets that only the twins understand, echoes of horrors that Charlotte gradually realizes took place in the house eleven years ago. Soon Charlotte has to admit that every babysitter's worst nightmare has come true: they're not alone in the house.
