This program is read by the author.

The Last of Us meets Bird Box in Sunny Moraine's Your Shadow Half Remains, a post-apocalyptic tale where eye contact causes people to spiral into a deadly, violent rage.

ONE LOOK CAN KILL.

Riley has not seen a single human face in longer than she can reckon. No faces, no eyes. Not if you want to survive.

But when a new neighbor moves in down the road, Riley’s overwhelming need for human contact makes her throw caution to the wind. Somehow, in this world where other people can mean a gruesome, bloody death, Ellis makes her feel safe. As they grow closer, Riley’s grip on reality begins to slip and she can no longer fight her deepest desires.

All Riley wants to do is look.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Intense, atmospheric, unnerving, absolutely oozing with dread. As profoundly moving as it is terrifying, and oh hell is it terrifying.” —Rachel Harrison, national bestselling author of Cackle and Such Sharp Teeth

“A haunting dance of imaginative dread. A mesmerizing descent into a pit of isolation, fascination, and paranoia.” —Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth and A Light Most Hateful

“A taut tale of fear and desire, loneliness and madness. Its thin fingers creep through your eyes into your brain and don't let go.” —Lucy A. Snyder, five-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Sister, Maiden, Monster

“Creepy from its first lines, this deceptively quiet roller-coaster of intense unease, palpable emotional trauma, and engrossing menace will appeal to a wide swath of readers.” —Library Journal

"A bleeding fever dream spun from loneliness.... With stunningly beautiful prose, this book is a must-read. Moraine will hurt you—and you will come back asking for more.” —Wendy N. Wagner, author of The Secret Skin and The Deer Kings

“A freaky and masterfully constructed tale…. Read this one with the lights on.” —Publishers Weekly

“Pulsating with danger and steeped in foreboding, Your Shadow Half Remains is an icy fingertip tracing your spine in the small hours of the night.” —Jonathan Janz, author of Marla and Children of the Dark

“Gorgeously written and impossible to put down.... Alongside the mounting dread, Moraine evokes a loneliness and an aching for simple human connection that’s so palpable you can’t not recognize it as your own.” —Nat Cassidy, author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror and Nestlings

“Tense, gripping, and deeply human. This is the kind of story that gets under your skin.” —A.C. Wise, author of Wendy, Darling and Hooked

How did this get published?

The only good thing I can say about this is that the author does a good job reading it. Usually, that is not the case. Sunny Moraine has a nice speaking voice.

Narrative voice needs work. Plot is paced poorly, and the characters are completely forgettable. (I honestly can't remember if Ellis was a he, she, or they.)

Excellent post apocalyptic horror

This was an excellent book, filled with beautiful writing, and sooo much dread and anticipation.
I think a lot of the negative reviews are people feeling like it's not "horror". It certainly is, it's just a lot more psychological than most "psychological horror".
Anywho, I loved it.
