"Reid is a master storyteller with a knack for absorbing prose.
Most of the action takes place in the microcosm of the couple's
house, but Reid writes about the relationship so well that it
becomes a universe full of questions and possibilities." -Los
Angeles Review of Books
"An ingenious work of psychological horror, Foe will disturb and
shock you with its eerie blend of existential dread and atmospheric
thriller." -Book Riot
"Reid is remarkable for delivering hypnotic, twisty plots and taut
prose in a short novel." -New York Journal of Books
"Reid is at it again, exploiting readers with plot twists,
narrative unease, and explosive conclusions in his second novel...
[he] has the rare ability to make readers both uncomfortable and
engaged, and this drama will surely send them back to the beginning
pages to track the clues he left to the surprise ending." -Booklist
(starred review)
"Such an ambitious work risks being muddied. Reid, however,
brilliantly executes his vision... With Foe, Reid has written a
page-turning novel that will entertain you and have you questioning
the very foundation of your existence at the exact same time."
-BookPage
"Foe is a tale of implacably mounting peril that feels all the more
terrifying for being told in such a quiet, elegantly stripped-down
voice. Iain Reid knows how to do 'ominous' as well as anyone I've
ever read." -Scott Smith, author of The Ruins and A Simple Plan
"Reid proves once again that he is a master of atmosphere and
suspense. Readers won't be able to put this one down." -Publishers
Weekly
"Reid builds to a deeply unsettling climax. As much a surgical
dissection of what makes a marriage as an expertly paced, sparsely
detailed psychological thriller, this is one to read with the
lights on." -Kirkus Reviews
"I'm not sure that humans have hackles, but something was creeping
up my spine as I read this book, and I welcomed the shivers of
shock and delight.... A mind-bending and genre-defying work of
genius." -Liz Nugent, author of Unraveling Oliver and Lying in
Wait
"Spare, consuming, unforgettable. Foe is a dark arrow from a truly
original mind. Page by eerie page, Iain Reid pulls the known world
out from under you, and leaves you trapped inside a marriage's most
haunting question: can I be replaced? This is a book that seeps
into your bloodstream--and crowns Iain Reid the king of deadpan,
philosophical horror." -Claudia Dey, author of Heartbreaker
"From the opening page, you'll have an uneasy feeling as you settle
in to Iain's Reid's brilliant new novel, Foe.... A masterful and
breathtakingly unique read. I can't stop thinking about it." -Amy
Stuart, author of the #1 bestseller Still Mine and Still Water
"I couldn't put it down. It infected my dreams. A creepy and
brilliant book." -Zoe Whittall, Giller shortlisted author of The
Best Kind of People
