“A Man Came Out of a Door in the Mountain is a rich, haunting, original novel that captures evil in many forms–mythic, magic and chillingly real. Adrianne Harun’s writing can hold you breathless.”
— Jess Walter, author of The Zero and Beautiful Ruins
“Adrianne Harun’s dark, mysterious novel is by turns Gothic and grittily realistic, astute and poetic in its evocation of evil everywhere.”
— Andrea Barrett, National Book Award Winner and author of Ship Fever and Servents of the Map
In isolated British Columbia, girls, mostly Native, are vanishing from the sides of a notorious highway. Leo Kreutzer and his four friends are barely touched by these disappearances–until a series of mysterious and troublesome outsiders come to town, and it seems as if the devil himself has appeared among them. In this intoxicatingly lush debut novel, Adrianne Harun weaves together folklore, mythology, and elements of magical realism to create a compelling and unsettling portrait of life in a dead-end town. A Man Came Out of a Door in the Mountain is atmospheric and evocative, a broken world rendered with grit and poetry in equal measure.
