Inspection: A Novel
- Inspection: A Novel Hardcover – March 19, 2019 by Josh Malerman (Author)
Boys are being trained at one school for geniuses, girls at another. Neither knows the other existsâ€”until now. The New York Times bestselling author ofÂ Bird BoxÂ invites you into a world of secrets and chills in a coming-of-age story like no other.

â€œJosh Malerman is a master at unsettling youâ€”and keeping you off-balance until the last page is turned.â€â€”Chuck Wendig,Â New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂ Blackbirds

J is a student at a school deep in a forest far away from the rest of the world.

J is one of only twenty-six students, all of whom think of the schoolâ€™s enigmatic founder as their father. Jâ€™s peers are the only family he has ever had. The students are being trained to be prodigies of art, science, and athletics, and their life at the school is all they knowâ€”and all they are allowed to know.

But J suspects that there is something out there, beyond the pines, that the founder does not want him to see, and heâ€™s beginning to ask questions. What is the real purpose of this place? Why can the students never leave? And what secrets is their father hiding from them?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, in a school very much like Jâ€™s, a girl named K is asking the same questions. J has never seen a girl, and K has never seen a boy. As K and J work to investigate the secrets of their two strange schools, they come to discover something even more mysterious: each other.

Praise for Inspection

â€œCreepy. . . a novel whose premise is also claustrophobic and unsettling, but more ambitious than that ofÂ Bird BoxÂ . . .Â InspectionÂ is rich with dread and builds to a dramatic climax.â€â€”The Washington Post

â€œThis unlikely cross betweenÂ 1984Â andÂ Lord of the FliesÂ tantalizes.â€â€”Kirkus Reviews

â€œMalerman builds a striking world. . . . As he did inÂ Bird Box, Malermanâ€™s crafted an irresistible scenario thatâ€™s rich in possibility and thematic fruit. . . . Where [Bird Box] confined us behind a blindfold,Â InspectionÂ rips it off.â€Â Â â€”The A. V. Club

â€œA must read . . . Itâ€™s a wonderful thing, digging into a new Josh Malerman novelâ€”no idea what to expect, no clue where his twisted mind is going to take you.â€â€”Cemetery Dance
