Hidden Pictures

Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak is a propulsive psychological thriller with a chilling twist: children’s drawings that don’t behave like drawings should. Fresh out of rehab and proudly sober, Mallory Quinn lands a live-in nanny job in a wealthy suburb, caring for sweet four-year-old Teddy—an arrangement that feels like the fresh start she’s worked hard to earn.

Then Teddy begins sketching his imaginary friend, Anya. The pictures are unsettling, and the details suggest something far darker than make-believe. When the family removes Teddy’s crayons, new drawings still appear—sharper, stranger, and increasingly hard to explain. Mallory can’t shake the feeling the house is keeping secrets, and that the art is trying to pull her towards one.

Perfect for readers who love fast-paced suspense, eerie mysteries, suburban gothic vibes, and books that make you sleep with the lights on.

Take a peek inside—just don’t expect to put it down.
