Merrivault's recall has begun, and every family it touched is now a target.
After surviving the horrors hidden beneath the TOY H-U-S-H flagship, Nora Vossane discovers that Merrivault did far more than distribute dangerous companions. For decades, the company has used toys, memories, and manufactured homes to test whether a child can be copied, replaced, and preserved across entire family networks.
Now forty-seven compromised companions have activated thousands of home placements. Old toys are opening their eyes. Families are receiving recall notices. White delivery vans are collecting people who may no longer know whether they are originals, replacements, or something that has lived long enough to become real.
At the center of the network is Eli, Nora's son, Merrivault's most valuable identity, and the key to an experiment that began before he was born. To save him, Nora must enter a neighborhood erased from every map, confront children who have worn Eli's life for decades, and reach the hidden store beneath the store before Merrivault's first usable child claims every memory in the system.
But the copies are no longer empty things. They have names, histories, families, and reasons to survive. Stopping the recall may mean deciding who gets to remain and whether being first ever made someone real.
Home Placement Confirmed is the fourth novel in the TOY H-U-S-H series, a dark supernatural horror saga of haunted toys, buried corporate experiments, stolen childhoods, and families forced to prove who they are.
