Jake og hans kæreste er på vej hjem for at besøge hans forældre på deres afsidesliggende gård. Da en snestorm bryder ud, tager parret en uventet omvej og strander foran en tom high school og søger tilflugt indenfor. I dagene efter efterforsker politiet et mord, der er sket på samme high school. Men hvem er offeret? "Romanens konstruktion er fantastisk og usædvanlig ... særdeles ubehagelig at læse men umulig at lægge fra sig." - Booklist "Denne uhyggelige debut kortlægger en foruroligende rejse, hvor filosofi og frygt mødes ... Du har lyst til at skrige: ?Løb for livet.? Og fortælleren kan høre dig. Hun hører bare ikke efter." - The Independent

    "We don't get visitors. Not out here. We never have. In Iain Reid's second haunting, philosophical puzzle of a novel, set in the near-future, Junior and Henrietta live a comfortable, solitary life on their farm, far from the city lights, but in close quarters with each other. One day, a stranger from the city arrives with alarming news: Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm...very far away. The most unusual part? Arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Henrietta won't have a chance to miss him, because she won't be left alone--not even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company"--

    From the author of FOE, now a major motion picture starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal Penny, an artist, has lived in the same apartment for decades, surrounded by the artifacts and keepsakes of her long life. She is resigned to the mundane rituals of old age, until things start to slip. Before her longtime partner passed away years earlier, provisions were made, unbeknownst to her, for a room in a unique long-term care residence, where Penny finds herself after one too many “incidents.” Initially, surrounded by peers, conversing, eating, sleeping, looking out at the beautiful woods that surround the house, all is well. She even begins to paint again. But as the days start to blur together, Penny – with a growing sense of unrest and distrust – starts to lose her grip on the passage of time and on her place in the world. Is she succumbing to the subtly destructive effects of aging, or is she an unknowing participant in something more unsettling?At once compassionate and uncanny, told in spare, hypnotic prose, Iain Reid’s genre-defying third novel explores questions of conformity, art, productivity, relationships, and what, ultimately, it means to grow old.‘I loved this book and couldn't put it down – a deeply gripping, surreal and wonderfully mysterious novel. Not only has Reid given us a brilliant page turner, but a profoundly moving meditation on life and art, death and infinity. Reid is a master’ Mona Awad, author 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl and All's Well

Lorsqu'un homme en costume-cravate frappe à leur porte, ils sont loin d'imaginer ce qu'il vient leur annoncer : Junior a été sélectionné par la société OuterMore pour un séjour expérimental dans une station spatiale. En son absence, un avatar biomécanique prendra sa place au sein du foyer.L'émissaire d'OuterMore s'installe donc chez le couple afin d'y mener l'étude préliminaire à la conception de ce « remplaçant ». Mais, très vite, l'intrus se fait de plus en plus envahissant et les sautes d'humeur de Henrietta plus fréquentes.Tendu, atmosphérique et minimaliste, à la frontière du thriller et du roman d'anticipation, « Le Remplaçant » questionne l'identité et le libre arbitre, et devrait séduire les fans de Philip K. Dick et de Stephen King.Un film inspiré du livre est en cours de production avec Saoirse Ronan, Paul Mescal et LaKeith Stanfield dans les rôles principaux.
