STARRED reviews from Publishers Weekly and Booklist! A LibraryReads Hall of Fame Pick!
Winner of the Shirley Jackson Award for Best Novel!

From Catriona Ward, author of The Last House on Needless Street, comes the Shirley Jackson Award-winning novel Little Eve, a heart-pounding tale of faith and family, with a devastating twist

"A great day is upon us. He is coming. The world will be washed away."

On the wind-battered isle of Altnaharra, off the wildest coast of Scotland, a clan prepares to bring about the end of the world and its imminent rebirth.

The Adder is coming and one of their number will inherit its powers. They all want the honor, but young Eve is willing to do anything for the distinction.

A reckoning beyond Eve's imagination begins when Chief Inspector Black arrives to investigate a brutal murder and their sacred ceremony goes terribly wrong.

And soon all the secrets of Altnaharra will be uncovered.

Industry Reviews

"Ward's skillful weaving of horror and mystery forms a dense, rich tapestry....The play of imagery is as engrossing as the plot twists, making this a rewarding outing from any angle. Horror fans won't want to miss this." --Publishers Weekly, STARRED review

"Ward is back with a proven winner ... disquieting, atmospheric ... impossible to look away." --Booklist, STARRED review

"Little Eve is the sort of book that will both surprise and shock you...It's delightful and disturbing by turns, and almost impossible to put down once you've started." --Paste Magazine

"As elegant and strange as it is dark and complex. ...One of Ward's best books, and that's saying a lot. ...[I]t's a book every lover of dark fiction should read."--Locus Magazine
