From cult sensation Mariana Enriquez, author of the International Booker Prize-shortlisted The Dangers of Smoking in Bed

 

..one of the best novels of the 21st century - Paul Tremblay

 

...a magnificent accomplishment and a genuine work of power. - Alan Moore

 

His father could find what was lost. His father knew when someone was going to die. His father had talked to him about the dead who rode in on the wind. The dead travel fast.

 

Gaspar is six years old when the Order first come for him.

 

For years, they have exploited his father's ability to commune with the dead and the demonic, presiding over macabre rituals where the unwanted and the disappeared are tortured and executed, sacrificed to the Darkness. Now they want a successor.

 

Nothing will stop the Order, nothing is beyond them. Surrounded by horrors, can Gaspar break free?

 

Spanning the brutal decades of Argentina's military dictatorship and its aftermath, Our Share of Night is a haunting, thrilling novel of broken families, cursed inheritances, and the sacrifices a father will make to help his son escape his destiny.A novel so disquieting, so unsettling I could neither put it down, nor read it late at night. Enriquez's short stories had already made me a fan for life - her novel is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. - Kelly Link, author of White Cat, Black Dog and Get in Trouble, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize

 

Very dark, very powerful, very compelling... An extraordinary thing. - John Lanchester
