The Night Country

'Magical, mesmerising and inventive' Karen McManus
'The Hazel Wood kept me up all night . . . Dark and beautiful' Jennifer Niven
'A terrifying twist on classic bedtime stories, you'll not sleep a wink' - Heat Magazine
'Simultaneously enticing and fearsome' - Guardian


Melissa Albert dives back into the menacing and mesmerizing world that captivated readers of The Hazel Wood.

For Alice Prosperine and Ellery Finch, the Hazel Wood was just the beginning of worlds beyond. Worlds where stories and real life convene, where the light is always followed by the dark and where something - or someone - is coming for them . . . Can they escape The Night Country?

A lush and enchanting tale. Albert effortlessly draws on a wide range of literary references and builds a world where magic really does emerge from pages and where books are not just figurative but literal doors. Dreamy and disturbing in equal measure, it's the perfect antidote to a grey winter's day.
