I Want Your Family
by Hurst, Daniel
I Want Your Family is a claustrophobic descent into the mind of someone who has decided that your life belongs to them. The story hinges on the terrifying ease with which an outsider can dismantle the facade of a happy family, turning their mundane domestic routines into a source of dread. Daniel Hurst avoids the slow burn in favor of immediate, escalating tension that makes you feel like an intruder in your own home. It is a cynical, sharp-edged look at how fragile our personal boundaries really are. You will not find any heroes here, just deeply flawed people navigating a web of obsession and calculated manipulation. If you enjoy domestic thrillers that prioritize psychological discomfort over action and want to spend a few hours questioning the motives of everyone you meet, this is the book for you.
