An instant USA Today bestseller!

"A sharp, dark supernatural horror that gripped me from start to finish."

—V. E. Schwab, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil

"CJ Leede’s Headlights is instantly seminal. A dazzling juggling of horror without camp; wit without loss of dread; pace without hurry; and most of all, the worldview and empathy of the author. You’re gonna have a hard time finding a more thrilling or moving book this year."

—Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Incidents Around the House

"Fascinating villains and a rich mythos... Blending frights, folklore, and an exploration of the lifelong effects of trauma, this will be good fun for horror fans."

—Publishers Weekly

"When I tell you that CJ Leede is a next Stephen King, I mean that while I was reading Headlights, I found myself spiritually transported to when I first read The Shining 25 years ago and the sheer joy of reading—of being thrilled and chilled and shocked and hungry for more. There are nods to King’s third novel here...but Leede strikes out for her own territories while paying homage to the stories that have come before....The novel moves in mysterious ways, often shocking, sometimes even downright startling."
