The instant number one bestseller. Reflections on hope, survival and the messy miracle of being alive from the bestselling author of The Midnight Library

Tom Hazard er den absolut bedste historielærer, man kan tænke sig. Han ligner en helt almindelig mand i begyndelsen af 40´erne, men i virkeligheden har han levet i århundreder. Tom har set det hele, drukket ale med Shakespeare, spillet piano i jazz-tidens Paris og været på havet med Kaptajn Cook. Hvis blot han med jævne mellemrum skifter identitet, ikke knytter bånd til andre mennesker og for alt i verden ikke forelsker sig, vil ingen opdage hans hemmelighed. NÅR TIDEN GÅR I STÅ er en dramatisk kærlighedshistorie på tværs af tid og alder. Det er en hjertevarm, vildt original, eftertænksom roman om at miste og finde sig selv. "Matt Haig har forståelse for menneskets vilkår, både lyset og mørket i os, og han bruger hele paletten, når han bygger sine historier op." Neil Gaiman "Læs endelig bogen - den er vidunderligt selskab." 6 ud af 6 stjerner, SØNDAG "Matt Haig har skrevet en helt og aldeles vidunderlig historie, som selvfølgelig giver mulighed for en rejse i historien, men nok så meget handler om at leve livet og få det bedste ud af det. Bogen, som er skrevet i ultrakorte kapitler, der veksler mellem de forskellige tidsperioder, er svær at lægge fra sig og indeholder både tristhed, men også enorm skønhed. Haig skriver intenst og bygger sin historie langsomt op, indtil begivenhederne pludselig eksploderer i fart og spænding. Sprogligt er romanen en fornøjelse både i sin præcision, sit liv, sit vid og sin poetiske lyrik. Kort sagt, bogen har det hele og lidt til."Litteratursiden.dk "Uden tvivl en fascinerende bog … ’Når tiden går i stå’ er en dybt rørende, original og følelsesvækkende roman om at miste sig selv, finde sig selv, forandringer og stilstående tid, og om hvordan vi måske kan, med nok tid, lære at være lykkelige." romeoreviews.com "Matt Haig skriver godt og han får forklaret både den langsomme aldringsproces, og præmisserne for det næsten evige liv på en fin måde, som jeg køber. Jeg var super godt underholdt, for romanen er både spændende, rørende og meget velskrevet. Glæd dig!" Bogblogger.dk

The bestselling, award-winning author of The Midnight Library offers his funniest, most devastating dark comedy yet, a “silly, sad, suspenseful, and soulful” (Philadelphia Inquirer) novel that’s “full of heart” (Entertainment Weekly).When an extra-terrestrial visitor arrives on Earth, his first impressions of the human species are less than positive. Taking the form of Professor Andrew Martin, a prominent mathematician at Cambridge University, the visitor is eager to complete the gruesome task assigned him and hurry home to his own utopian planet, where everyone is omniscient and immortal. He is disgusted by the way humans look, what they eat, their capacity for murder and war, and is equally baffled by the concepts of love and family. But as time goes on, he starts to realize there may be more to this strange species than he had thought. Disguised as Martin, he drinks wine, reads poetry, develops an ear for rock music, and a taste for peanut butter. Slowly, unexpectedly, he forges bonds with Martin’s family. He begins to see hope and beauty in the humans’ imperfection, and begins to question the very mission that brought him there. Praised by The New York Times as a “novelist of great seriousness and talent,” author Matt Haig delivers an unlikely story about human nature and the joy found in the messiness of life on Earth. The Humans is a funny, compulsively readable tale that playfully and movingly explores the ultimate subject—ourselves.

From the bestselling author of The Midnight Library, an “irresistible...full of clever turns, darkly hilarious spins...Even if you're suffering from vampire fatigue...The Radleys is a fun, fresh contribution to the genre” (Associated Press). Just about everyone knows a family like the Radleys. Many of us grew up next door to one. They are a modern family, averagely content, averagely dysfunctional, living in a staid and quiet suburban English town. Peter is an overworked doctor whose wife, Helen, has become increasingly remote and uncommunicative. Rowan, their teenage son, is being bullied at school, and their anemic daughter, Clara, has recently become a vegan. They are typical, that is, save for one devastating exception: Peter and Helen are vampires and have—for seventeen years—been abstaining by choice from a life of chasing blood in the hope that their children could live normal lives. One night, Clara finds herself driven to commit a shocking—and disturbingly satisfying—act of violence, and her parents are forced to explain their history of shadows and lies. A police investigation is launched that uncovers a richness of vampire history heretofore unknown to the general public. And when the malevolent and alluring Uncle Will, a practicing vampire, arrives to throw the police off Clara’s trail, he winds up throwing the whole house into temptation and turmoil and unleashing a host of dark secrets that threaten the Radleys’ marriage. The Radleys is a moving, thrilling, and radiant domestic novel that explores with daring the lengths a parent will go to protect a child, what it costs you to deny your identity, the undeniable appeal of sin, and the everlasting, iridescent bonds of family love. Read it and ask what we grow into when we grow up, and what we gain—and lose—when we deny our appetites.
