A couple makes the mistake of trusting their child to the wrong babysitter. Bunny's parents should not have brought her to New York City, but her father has an important speech to make in the city, and her mother couldn't bear to be away from the darling nine-year-old girl. When Mommy and Daddy leave for the speech, Bunny will stay in the hotel with a babysitter, sound asleep and perfectly safe. What could possibly go wrong? The sitter is Nell, a plain young woman from Indiana whose dull expression conceals madness. She puts Bunny to bed and amuses herself in the other room, making prank calls and trying on the mother's jewelry. So far all is well, but something is broken inside Nell's mind. As long she is in charge, the child will not be safe.

#MayMovieMagic #SaveMe Bunny is definitely crying out to be saved in this book first published in 1950. I feel like I‘ve read it before or maybe there was a movie ?! But I‘m not sure if I can finish it ... it‘s that unnerving & upsetting 😳

LeahBergen I recently bought this one (in an anthology)! 5y
Cathythoughts @LeahBergen this one is good. Just really scary... I‘m a divil for punishment so I‘m stacking your one & also the book she won the Edgar Award for in 1957 5y
batsy This is on my list largely because of the anthology @LeahBergen mentioned! Sounds good but creepy. 5y
Cathythoughts @batsy yes! She certainly knows how to create an atmosphere.... 5y
RohitSawant @LeahBergen Oo, that sounds like a great anthology! 5y
