Description

This gripping debut horror novel about the death of a haunted Australian town creeps with “a similar energy and dread as that found in Josh Malerman’s Bird Box” (Kirkus Reviews). “Beautifully written.” —Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts On winter solstice, the birds disappeared, and the mist arrived. The inhabitants of Nebulah quickly learn not to venture out after dark. But it is hard to stay indoors: cabin fever sets in, and the mist can be beguiling, too. Eventually only six remain. Like the rest of the townspeople, Pete has nowhere else to go. After he rescues a stranded psychic from a terrible fate, he’s given a warning: he will be dead by solstice unless he leaves town—soon.

“A similar energy and frantic dread as that found in Josh Malerman’s Bird Box…A solid new entry into the horror scene filled with anxiety and dread.” —Kirkus Reviews “Soon will appeal to Stephen King fans thanks to the picture Murphy paints of a small town left behind to rot in isolation. Readers will be glued to their seats.” —Booklist “This debut work, that’s also the winner of the Aurealis Best Horror 2017, is beautifully written, has a clever plot and is filled with interesting characters. This poetic creation by Lois Murphy deserves the attention of horror and literary novels and is a perfect read for fans of Jeff Vandermeer, Joe Hill, Josh Malerman, and Richard Matheson.” —Mystery Tribune
