Reviews

Headlights is instantly seminal. Enshrine it, I say. And it’s not just the great premise or fabulous ideas: Headlights is a dazzling juggling of horror without camp, wit without loss of dread, pace without hurry . . . I’ll be recommending this book at parties forever. But first I’m gonna go get everything else she’s written. You’re gonna have a hard time finding a more thrilling or moving book this year
An utterly stunning novel . . . Wrapped within one of the most disturbing concepts ever to grace the genre is an utterly beautiful reflection on overcoming trauma, seeking freedom, and the afterlife. Not just one of the best horror books you’ll ever read but one that has the capacity to change you permanently
Gory and brutal and beautiful and painful and terrifying and a pure delight
Blood-soaked, heart-wrenching, grim and glorious. CJ Leede is a singular talent
