The Last of Us meets Bird Box in Sunny Moraine's Your Shadow Half Remains, a post-apocalyptic tale where eye contact causes people to spiral into a deadly, violent rage. ONE LOOK CAN KILL. Riley has not seen a single human face in longer than she can reckon. No faces, no eyes. Not if you want to survive. But when a new neighbor moves in down the road, Rileys overwhelming need for human contact makes her throw caution to the wind. Somehow, in this world where other people can mean a gruesome, bloody death, Ellis makes her feel safe. As they grow closer, Rileys grip on reality begins to slip and she can no longer fight her deepest desires. All Riley wants to do is look. A refreshingly original take on dystopian fiction, Moraine's latest is as haunting as it is thought provoking. Booklist (STARRED review)
