Reviews"Exciting, rich, thick verisimilitude...But the rest of the majestic allure of the book--which, beside being almost journalistically keen, is rife with thrilling supernatural events--can be traced to Hand's well-known and previously displayed visionary powers, her remarkable way with words, and her ability to conjure up characters that the reader falls for, then to put them through thrilling events...Swift-moving yet deliberate, establishing thick connections between the natural world and the numinous forces behind it, Hokuloa Road would make a great dramatic TV miniseries. Call it Hawaii-666."-- Locus Magazine, "Somehow, Elizabeth Hand has made Hawaii an unsettling destination. A hallmark of greatness, of course, and Hand is full of them. The book is one singular intensification, from apprehension to alarm, seclusion to alienation. You might do worse than to score a caretaker's gig on a gorgeous island, but Hokuloa Road suggests otherwise. Horror fans, be seated."-- Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box, "Hand is a master at genre-blending stories that feature carefully dosed supernatural malevolence. Here, she wields that mix of horror and thriller to draw together a cast of sympathetically awkward, fiercely loyal outcasts. Another strange, satisfying winner." -- Booklist (starred review), "Atmospheric . . . Hand neatly balances tense action with rich environmental ambience, and the supernatural with the darkly human. She remains a writer to watch." -- Publishers Weekly, "Elizabeth Hand's Hokuloa Road brims with menace: vine-choked cliff-top highways, aviaries filled with strange birds, tanks of poisonous sea urchins . . . Brilliantly atmospheric."-- New York Times Book Review

SynopsisA young man is drawn into the dark side of paradise in this "brilliantly atmospheric" ( New York Times Book Review ) and "refreshingly creepy" ( Washington Post ) mystery. A New York Times Notable Book On a whim, Grady Kendall applies to work as a live-in caretaker for a luxury property in Hawaii, as far from his small-town Maine life as he can imagine. Within days he's flying out to an estate on remote Hokuloa Road, where he quickly uncovers a dark side to the island's idyllic reputation: it has long been a place where people vanish without a trace. When a young woman from his flight becomes the next to disappear, Grady is determined--and soon desperate--to figure out what's happened to Jessie, and to all those staring out of the island's "missing" posters. But working with Raina, Jessie's fiercely protective best friend, to uncover the truth is anything but easy, and with an inexplicable and sinister presence stalking his every step, Grady can only hope he'll find the answer before it's too late. Perfect for fans of Peter Heller and The White Lotus , and from award-winning writer Elizabeth Hand, a master of crime fiction known for her magnetic characters, seductive prose, and fearless excavations into the darkest corners of our world, comes a chilling and illuminating new novel about a place unlike any other--and the deadly cost of keeping it so. "Set in a Hawaii so vividly imagined I'm still shaking sand out of my shoes."--Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of The Final Girl Support Group "Twisty and dark . . . easily one of the best thrillers I've read." --Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Wife Upstairs "This is the perfect book for your summer beach bag--an evocative mystery set in a tropical island paradise." --Jason Rekulak, author of Hidden Pictures, A young man is drawn into the dark side of paradise in this haunting and atmospheric mystery about the eerie secrets of one Hawai'ian island--and the lengths some will go to keep them.
