The book you need after Squid Game

Hide

A marvellously creepy thrill ride of a book that keeps twisting until the very end

Karen M. McManus, internationally bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying

There is nothing creepier than an abandoned amusement park, especially when Kiersten White is writing about it. Each character is astonishingly real and the pacing is spot-on. This book held me captive, I couldn't put it down.

Samantha Downing, Internationally Bestselling author of My Lovely Wife

Equal parts hell-ride thriller and American fable, Kiersten White's HIDE runs you through a sinister child's game set in a nightmare amusement park, and it does so with gleeful, fiendish delight. I hung onto this book with bloodless knuckles, and I adored every spine-chilling second

Chuck Wendig, Sunday Times bestselling author

Hide is a claustrophobic thriller choked with weeds, rust, and rot. The game here is not what it seems. The hunt is swift and merciless, and the fear is primal and bestial. Don't pick up this book unless you have time to read it all in one anxious sitting.

Stephanie Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of There’s Someone Inside Your House

An enthralling, high-energy thriller . . . White proves she has a finger on the pulse of millennial horror.

Haunting, startling, unrelenting, and unexpectedly heartbreaking, HIDE draws you inexorably in among the thorns and rust, where the monsters are both intimately familiar and horrifyingly unfathomable.

Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times-bestselling author of The Violence

Guaranteed to be THE book of the summer. Cinematic in scope, breathless in suspense, this book is a rollercoaster of pitch-perfect horror.

Eliza Jane Brazier, author of If I Disappear and Good Rich People

White holds no punches in this brilliantly executed thrill ride. Every twist and turn horrified and delighted me in equal measure. This book was so damn fun!

Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows

Luring us into its maze with hints of wrongness, Hide leads us into a nightmare game that escalates from dread to supernatural terror and breathless suspense - a compulsive read you won't want to put down.

Ramsey Campbell, author of The Hungry Moon

Smart, sizzling, and sensuous, this descent into the long years of Lucy's unlife breathes new life into the Dracula mythos. Suitable for both newcomers and longtime fans of Bram Stoker, Lucy Undying beautifully depicts the transformative power of love and the many forms that monsters take.

Brimming with White&rsquo;s signature wit and razor-sharp prose, Lucy Undying is a gothic masterpiece, playfully paying homage to one of Bram Stoker&rsquo;s most maligned characters and letting her shine for the heroine she is. I absolutely adored everything about this book.

Erin A. Craig, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows

Simply stunning. I couldn't put this dark and lush and poignant story down.

Nalini Singh, New York Times bestselling author

I've been a Kierstan White fan since her first book, and this is a career-defining book if I've ever read one. This vampire novel has teeth, and a bloody, beating heart that will leave you thinking of it long after you've finished the last page. An utterly gorgeous tale of life, love, and death.

New York Times bestselling author Katee Robert

A mesmerizing saga. Lucy Undying claws out of the familiar tale and gives voice to a gorgeous, heart-wrenching twist in the narrative. Kiersten White excels at combining the dazzling with the dark.

Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings

The best retelling of Bram Stoker&rsquo;s Dracula I&rsquo;ve read, featuring its most underrated character. A gorgeous tapestry of interconnected stories layered atop one another; add in heartbreak and Lucy&rsquo;s absolute badassery, and serve cold, like the best revenge often is.

Rin Chupeco, author of Silver Under Nightfall

A hypnotic and razor-sharp reimagining of the quintessential vampire story, seen through Lucy&rsquo;s alluring, immortal eyes. White has crafted a gothic-tinged tale as deep and dark as grave dirt and as lush as spilled blood.

Ava Reid, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Lady Macbeth
