This Thing Between Us2021

"A widower battles his grief, rage, and the mysterious evil inhabiting his home smart speaker, in this mesmerizing horror thriller from newcomer Gus Moreno"-- It was Vera's idea to buy the Itza. The "world's most advanced smart speaker!" didn't interest Thiago, but Vera thought it would be a bit of fun for them amidst all the strange occurrences happening in the condo: scratching in the walls, peculiar packages showing up, eerie music at odd hours. It was funny-- right up until Vera was killed. Now Thiago wants to get far away from Chicago, and a secluded cabin in Colorado seemed like the perfect place to hole up with his crushing grief. But there is an evil hunting him, feeding on his grief, looking for a way into this world. -- adapted from back cover
