If you don't behave, Puckeen will come out of his box.
Driving home late one evening, Etain Larkin finds a corpse on a country road and takes it to a remote farmhouse. She never speaks of that night again. Two decades later, Betty Fitzpatrick starts college in Dublin, and falls in love with the beautiful but troubled Ashling - who seems determined not to let Betty meet her family, especially her alcoholic mother, Etain.
Ashling connects all the horrors inflicted on her family to a beloved children's TV show, about a puppet who lived in a box and would come out if you didn't behave. A puppet who no-one remembers ever seeing... except for Ashling.
Genre: Horror

Praise for this book
"Celtic creepypasta Knock Knock, Open Wide is a dark miracle and Neil Sharpson is an infernal bard belched straight out from Hell itself. Your next nightmare has just arrived." - Clay McLeod Chapman
"Irish mythology melds with family damage and a decidedly contemporary love story in this deftly told novel. Circling around one of the most terrifying versions of a child's TV program in fiction, Knock, Knock, Open Wide has a remarkable ability to reveal the cracks in reality which, if we're not careful, we can be pushed through, landing in a darker-hued reality that huddles snarling beneath." - Brian Evenson
"Genuinely terrifying, the sort of book you shut away in the freezer at night so it won't come looking for you. That is, if you can put it down. Knock Knock, Open Wide deservedly places Neil Sharpson at the front rank of modern horror writers. Open wide, if you dare, and read." - Alex Grecian
