4.9/5 (13473 ratings)

Description:Hailed by “The New Yorker” as “a wise and astonishing conjurer of convincing realities,” Maile Meloy is one of our country’s most celebrated short story writers. In her scalp-prickling Byliner Original “Devotion: A Rat Story,” she shows how easily an everyday reality—a young woman’s struggle for an independent life— can become a nightmare, toothy monsters included.It’s not easy being twenty-something in America, with the economy down and jobs scarce, especially if you’re also a single mother. An art school graduate with a four-year-old daughter, Eleanor is desperate to move out of her parents’ house at last. When a tiny yellow bungalow comes on the market, with a yard and a tree for climbing, it seems perfect for the two of them, and mysteriously affordable. Not until Eleanor enters the house to unpack does she realize she has made a terrible—and terrifying—mistake.Eleanor hadn’t met the next-door neighbors, and didn’t know what lived there with them—seething through the house, multiplying daily, fat and hungry and spreading out into the neighborhood. When Eleanor tries to confront the onslaught, she is told that these “pets” are not the ones intruding—she is. An engrossing, exquisitely unsettling tale from an American literary treasure, “Devotion: A Rat Story” will leave you suspicious of your neighbors and fearful of what’s lurking in your backyard, in your living room—or even in your own head.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
