This book is so damn good. The most gripping psychological thriller I’ve ever read—heart-thumping and mesmerizing, a masterclass in tension and terror, it’s also a creative, thoughtful portrait of maternal fear and love—a must read. Out today!

The Lamplighters transported me effortlessly with the most vivid prose and a gripping, page-turning mystery. Haunting and heartbreaking, I loved it. Congratulations on such wonderful reviews, dear @StonexEmma, and happy publication day this side of the pond! https://t.co/IvnBfxvigD

It’s such a treat to come across a novel that joins your list of favourites ... I loved everything about this novel—the evocative sense of place, the quiet tensions, the gorgeous passages.

This novel reads like a fever dream of maternal speculative horror…The story is riveting, and terrifying, but there's also so much truth here about how wildly strange the challenge of daily motherhood can be.

@CescaMajor @Allegra_Chapman @ElleryLloyd Ahh I love the screwed up but brilliant category of fiction 😍🙏 I’ll add The Need by Helen Phillips and Fierce Kingdom by @GinPhillips17 (and intrigued by the sound of Night Bitch by Rachel Yoder!)

This taut, captivating story parallels having a baby with the arrival of the end of the world: Amid apocalyptic floods, the narrator must escape London with her new baby boy, fleeing peril throughout the first year of his life.

Each chapter examines a different sin—pride, lust, envy, gluttony, greed, wrath, and sloth—as it relates to (and burdens) modern women’s lives and the pressure to be ‘good’. It’s confronting and incisive and personal, and one of the most relevant things I’ve read on womanhood.

This book is so special. It’s about grief, and small towns, and siblings, and the twenty-seven minutes Grant Dean chose to wait before calling the ambulance to save his sister’s life. Go get it!!!

Happy publication day to @oreawilliams and this absolutely fantastic debut... Bold and original and completely entertaining—this is such fun to read, a tight punch of a story packed with brilliant observations about identity, our closest relationships, and so much more. Loved it.
