Look What the Cat Dragged In

27 歲的費城漫畫家佩妮·帕吉特（Penny Padgett），她同意在自己家裡幫忙照顧一隻名為哥德弗瑞（Godfrey）的古怪貓咪。剛開始，牠是個溫暖又黏人的夥伴，總是跟著佩妮在房子裡到處走，而且每天晚上都堅持睡在她身旁。但很快地，怪事接踵而至：佩妮開始被不安且暴力的惡夢所折磨；她的地下室爆發了可怕的蟲患；她原本可愛的卡通插畫變得陰暗且超現實，彷彿被某隻看不見的手操控著；而她的健康狀況也開始惡化，心靈與身體似乎正遭受一股邪惡、懷有敵意的力量攻擊。

佩妮或許是個愛貓人士，但她開始覺得，哥德弗瑞絕非一隻普通的貓咪……

傑森•雷庫拉克這部新小說嵌入超過 80 頁的原創漫畫與插畫，情節緊湊、驚悚動人且極具巧思，完全不負《紐約時報》盛讚他「擁有極度豐富想像力」。

"Garfield meets Rosemary's Baby" ―Publisher’s Weekly

From the New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Pictures and The Last One at the Wedding comes a new supernatural thriller about a young woman pet-sitting a cat with a mysterious secret, featuring more than eighty pages of illustrations.

Meet Penny Padgett, a twenty-seven-year-old cartoonist in Philadelphia who agrees to pet-sit a very peculiar cat named Godfrey in her home. At first, he’s a warm and affectionate companion who follows Penny all around the house and insists on sleeping by her side every night. But soon strange things are happening: Penny is haunted by disturbing and violent nightmares. There’s a terrible insect infestation in her basement. Her cute cartoon illustrations turn dark and surreal, as if influenced by some invisible hand. And her health starts failing, as if her mind and body are under attack by a sinister, malevolent force.

Penny may be a cat person, but she’s starting to think Godfrey is no ordinary cat. . . .

Fully illustrated with more than eighty pages of original artwork, Jason Rekulak’s new novel is intensely plotted, wonderfully frightening, and wildly clever. He more than lives up to his reputation as having “a freakishly fertile imagination” (The New York Times).
