From the all-too-real horror of a sexual predator on a college campus to a lost sister transformed by cave-dwelling creatures, Mystery Lights grapples with terrors both familiar and fantastic, introducing an electrifying new voice in contemporary fiction while bringing to light the many faces of the forces that haunt us.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Novel Sheffield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54834700091769,"sku":"","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/0721\/1547\/files\/9781915368799.webp?v=1734104776"},{"product_id":"rouge-mona-awad","title":"Rouge- Mona Awad","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the critically acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eBunny\u003c\/i\u003e comes a horror-tinted, gothic fairy tale about a lonely dress shop clerk whose mother's unexpected death sends her down a treacherous path in pursuit of youth and beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCan she escape her mother's fate and find a connection that is more than skin deep?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Most Anticipated Book of 2023 in \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ei\u003c\/i\u003enewspaper, \u003ci\u003eThe \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGlobe and Mail, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eBustle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Millions\u003c\/i\u003e, LitHub, \u003ci\u003eTOR\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGood Housekeeping\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOur Culture Mag\u003c\/i\u003e, and more!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou think, \"She's not going to go there…yes, she is.' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargaret Atwood \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'The trancelike, rhapsodic language and deepening atmosphere of unreality make for a narrative that oozes with unease.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRouge \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis a must-read for anyone who has found themselves obsessively, and even dangerously, fixated on self-improvement.
