"Daphne is somehow both a terrifying serial killer story and a beautiful meditation on the psychic gulf between adolescence and adulthood. It left me sniffing for smoke and jumping at shadows."--Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of The Violence

"This terrifying little book will get you just like Daphne does--first with curiosity, then fascination, and before you know it, you're sucked in deep, and it's too late. You'll be triple-checking the locks and sleeping with all the lights in the house on bright, too afraid to close your eyes."--Peng Shepherd, USA Today bestselling author of The Cartographers

"Welcome to Samhattan, Michigan, a place where Kit's ever-looming anxiety of senior year and the threat of a monstrous ghost stalking her teammates are equally real and terrifying. Daphne is both a new spin on the slasher genre and a deeply rewarding novel about the nature of the horrors inside us."--Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds

"A swift and fierce novel about collective forgetting, repression, anxiety, and fear--and above all a seemingly unstoppable villain . . . Sleek and scary, it looms larger and larger with every page."--Brian Evenson, author of The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell

"If you don't start your summer with a copy of this--crinkled spine, worn pages, crammed in the back pocket of your jeans--you're doing it all wrong. Daphne will scare the bejesus out of you. This is Malerman at his best."--J. D. Barker, New York Times bestselling author of A Caller's Game

"Key author Malerman delivers another winner. . . . A thought-provoking and honest conversation about anxiety wrapped around a Freddy Krueger-esque slasher . . . For fans of cursed small towns like in Thomas Olde Heuvelt's Hex, or other fresh takes on the teen slasher like Jessica Guess's Cirque Berserk."--Library Journal

"Malerman, whose first published novel, 2014's Bird Box, immediately established him as a horror voice to be reckoned with, outdoes himself here. A palpable feeling of evil permeates the book; like Kit, we are in a constant state of unease, wondering what is about to happen and whether Daphne really has returned, all these years later, to wreak havoc on the community. Genius at work."--Booklist (starred review)
