Lauren Carter’s new novel is a taut and uncanny thriller about one girl’s search for home, melding time travel, magic realism, horror, and literary suspense. The Longest Night follows 18-year-old Ash Hayes as she makes finds herself locked out of her family home in rural Minnesota. She seeks shelter from the freezing cold and certain death at the closest house on the road, with neighbours she hasn’t yet met. The next morning, everything is off-kilter – and in her efforts to get out of the house and back to her regular life, Ash finds herself transported to an even stranger place and time, setting off a chain of events that connect with (and alter) her past and her future.
