“A perfect little bite-sized horror. Some of these scenes are going to live in my head for a long, long time.” —T. Kingfisher, New York Times–bestselling author of the Sworn Soldier and Swordheart series

“A masterclass in slowly cranking up the dread until it feels as though the dial will snap right off. Clever and haunting. Joseph Fink has crafted a perfect little spring trap of hospitality horror.” —Chuck Tingle, USA Today–bestselling author of Lucky Day and Bury Your Gays

“Fans of bizarre supernatural fiction that evokes a sense of creeping terror, much as Fink’s Welcome to Night Vale podcast does, will be enthralled.” — Booklist, starred review

“Fink’s writing style is reminiscent of his other works . . . unnerving readers just enough over the course of the work to truly horrify them by the end . . . The book could slot neatly onto a shelf next to a collection of H.P. Lovecraft’s or Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories, but Hayworth’s grayscale graphite illustrations may make readers recall the feeling of first discovering a collection of Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark—and then becoming too unsettled to sleep . . . Will resonate with classic horror fans as well as Night Vale devotees.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“A brief and unsettling novella about a man trying to outrun some mysterious evil.” — The Verge
