Praise for Days of Light

"There's warmth and depth in Hunter's well-wrought prose. The characters stay with you in the best way." --Sarah Moss

Praise for The End We Start From

"The End We Start From is a stunning tale of motherhood. Megan has crafted a striking and frighteningly real story of a family fighting for survival that will make everyone stop and think about what kind of planet we are leaving behind for our children."--Benedict Cumberbatch

"A beautifully spare, haunting meditation on the persistence of life after catastrophe. I loved it."--Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven

"Startlingly poetic . . . Hunter writes with delicacy and precision; her imagery is pearlescent in places. It's a sliver of a novel, but it shimmers."--The Guardian

"Spare, stylish . . . The real strength of this wonderfully earthy novel is in its sharpened lens on motherhood's apocalyptic-feeling joys and terrors, and how they can form an all-encompassing world."--Vogue

"In elegiac lines, Hunter tells a love story through the eyes of a new mother, who witnesses the death of an old life and the start of a new one . . . a perfect portrait of rebirth the final testament that time, and life, do go on, despite our best efforts."--Elle

"The End We Start From is reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, in that it shares the same narrative detachment, and the same precise poetry. It is of course told from the perspective of a mother, rather than a father, and is set in a world that is only beginning to fall into chaos . . . Megan Hunter's remarkable debut novel feels like the other half of the story."--Financial Times

Praise for The Harpy

"With shades of Carmen Maria Machado and Karen Russell, Hunter turns in an unforgettable magical realist story of power, revenge, and transformation."--Esquire

"What The Harpy offers is a beautiful, poetic account of [a] marriage, and also an insightful character study . . . It is introspective and the prose is quietly beautiful . . . And when it borders on a dark fairy tale, The Harpy soars."--NPR

"A taut horror story wrapped inside a domestic drama of two people at war with each other. A scarily satisfying read."--Library Journal

"The Harpy asks its readers to consider whether emotional violence can be uncoupled from its physical counterpart, and whether one can justify the other. By blurring the boundaries of the two -- a mild poisoning and revenge pornography occupy the same textual category of harm -- the novel sketches out the unsettling psychological terrain that can lie beneath bourgeois marital composure."--The Guardian
