THE NIGHT GUEST

“The Night Guest is evocative and powerfully restrained. At times chilling, at others harrowingly familiar, The Night Guest is a fascinating examination of femininity, agency, and self, and a genuinely heart-pounding read.” —Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six “From its opening pages, Hildur Knútsdóttir's eerie and elegant The Night Guest wraps its icy fingers around you and pulls you in. It's so atmospheric, so well-crafted, and so truly, deeply unsettling that by the end, you feel every bit as haunted as its sleepless heroine. If you're a horror fan—or just a fan of great writing in general—you need to have this one on your radar!” —Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Wife Upstairs “I inhaled this book. Not since Sarah Gran's Come Closer has every sentence sliced at the reader's heart. This book will bleed you out before you're done.” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters “A beautifully written story: visceral, layered, and haunting. I loved every moment.” —Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters “Effortlessly alternating between dark humor and the darkest horror, The Night Guest hooked me immediately—and then proceeded to reel me in with a vivid, haunting story that evades easy answers and is all the more terrifying for it.” —Sam J. Miller, award-winning author of The Blade Between “The Night Guest is a tightly woven, nasty little fable that thrums with dread. If it keeps you awake at night, you just might be grateful.” —Christopher Buehlman, author of The Blacktongue Thief
