Reviews
“A truly gripping read you can devour in one sitting.”—The New York Times
“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
“A genuinely heart-pounding read.”—Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six
“You can speed through this book in a single spooky night and be satisfied with the chills it leaves behind.”—The Wall Street Journal
“This is psychological horror at its finest.”—Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
“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
“The Night Guest pulls us by our throats down Reykjavik midnight streets in an unraveling nightmare, so much grief and fear and all we may be capable of leaving their marks beneath our fingernails and behind our eyes. This book moved, thrilled, and terrified me. Atmospheric, witty, frightening, electrifying, I would walk those nightmare streets again and again with Knútsdóttir. I absolutely loved it.”—CJ Leede, USA Today bestselling author of Maeve Fly
“Like the flashes of a waking nightmare, Knútsdóttir’s artful spiral of terror will have fans of Ling Ma, Paula Hawkins, and other flawed female narrators demanding more.”—Booklist
“A beautifully written story: visceral, layered, and haunting. I loved every moment.”—Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters
