NVK

Praise

“[An] original take on the horror genre…Spare, sexy, and atmospheric, it is as deep and dark as a Finnish forest.” —The Guardian, Brilliant Books to Transport You This Summer

“[A] supercharged, genre-mixing first novel.” —BBC

“[This] gothic-drenched noirish tale unnerves and entertains…there’s something stealthily intriguing about Thomson’s handling of the uncanny and the menacing, and his subtle but insistent examination of sexual politics.” —The Times

“An atmospheric and evocative tale buoyed by a sensual affair, Drake’s debut is a compelling read.” —Booklist

“A steamy affair turns supernatural…the ending subverts expectations and provides a perfect springboard for NVK’s next adventure.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Finely calibrated…for all its mythological opulence, the tale’s central ambiguity—the question of who is preying on whom—seems urgently modern.” —The Guardian

“Seamlessly blending sophisticated gothic fantasy with a stylish, neon-lit allure, NVK is our sexy new obsession…Drake writes this thriller in a deliberately minimalist style that’s as spare and elegant as Scandinavian furniture…mysterious and bewitching.” —Apple Books, Top 10 Best Debut Novels of the Season
