Your Shadow Half Remains

Beschreibung

The Last of Us meets Bird Box in Sunny Moraine's Your Shadow Half Remains, a post-apocalyptic tale where eye contact causes people to spiral into a deadly, violent rage.

ONE LOOK CAN KILL.

Riley has not seen a single human face in longer than she can reckon. No faces, no eyes. Not if you want to survive.

But when a new neighbor moves in down the road, Riley's overwhelming need for human contact makes her throw caution to the wind. Somehow, in this world where other people can mean a gruesome, bloody death, Ellis makes her feel safe. As they grow closer, Riley's grip on reality begins to slip and she can no longer fight her deepest desires.

All Riley wants to do is look.

"A refreshingly original take on dystopian fiction, Moraine's latest is as haunting as it is thought provoking." -Booklist (STARRED review)

Rezensionen

"Intense, atmospheric, unnerving, absolutely oozing with dread. As profoundly moving as it is terrifying, and oh hell is it terrifying." -Rachel Harrison, national bestselling author of Cackle and Such Sharp Teeth

"A haunting dance of imaginative dread. A mesmerizing descent into a pit of isolation, fascination, and paranoia." -Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth and A Light Most Hateful

"A refreshingly original take on dystopian fiction, Moraine's latest is as haunting as it is thought provoking." -Booklist (STARRED review)

"Simultaneously sharp, fast, and elegant, the writing in this book keeps you turning the pages.... Moraine has written a postapocalyptic narrative that's not about

the end of the world; it's about the brutal effects of loneliness, and that makes it a must read." -Gabino Iglesias, Locus

"A taut tale of fear and desire, loneliness and madness. Its thin fingers creep through your eyes into your brain and don't let go." -Lucy A. Snyder, five-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Sister, Maiden, Monster

"Creepy from its first lines, this deceptively quiet roller-coaster of intense unease, palpable emotional trauma, and engrossing menace will appeal to a wide swath of readers." -Library Journal

"A bleeding fever dream spun from loneliness.... With stunningly beautiful prose, this book is a must-read. Moraine will hurt you-and you will come back asking for more." -Wendy N. Wagner, author of The Secret Skin and The Deer Kings

"A freaky and masterfully constructed tale.... Read this one with the lights on." -Publishers Weekly

"Pulsating with danger and steeped in foreboding, Your Shadow Half Remains is an icy fingertip tracing your spine in the small hours of the night." -Jonathan Janz, author of Marla and Children of the Dark

"Gorgeously written and impossible to put down.... Alongside the mounting dread, Moraine evokes a loneliness and an aching for simple human connection that's so palpable you can't not recognize it as your own." -Nat Cassidy, author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror and Nestlings

"Tense, gripping, and deeply human. This is the kind of story that gets under your skin." -A.C. Wise, author of Wendy, Darling and Hooked
