“An immensely fun brew of magic, mystery and mushrooms . . . If this stuff is your jam, you’ll love it.”—The Guardian, “Book of the Day”

“An instant classic . . . It’s the most gripping book I’ve read for months.”—Alison Rumfitt, author of Brainwyrms

“I adored it. The Secret History meets The Haunting of Hill House meets cosmic horror . . . A beautifully crafted book—rich, thoughtful, terrifying. I can’t wait for people to read it.”—Nicholas Binge, author of Dissolution

“Solace House is a sprawling, mind-bending, immersive mansion of a novel. Perfect for fans of David Mitchell and Ruth Ozeki, this is a definite must-read and must re-read.”—Cailean Steed, author of Home

“There are moments of intense revelation in Solace House so vivid that I can still see them. This strange, surprising house is a hallucinatory delight.”―Aliya Whiteley, author of Skyward Inn

“Precise, masterful and electric, Solace House sets the gold standard for contemporary speculative fiction . . . A triumphant mystery that will keep you gripped right to the very last page.”—Rebecca Ferrier, author of The Salt Bind

“Delightfully sinister . . . The best part is that you’ll not realize you are lost until it’s far too late to escape.”—Hiron Ennes, author of The Works of Vermin

“A delight . . . A wonderful sense of creeping dread, but the characters twinkle and pop off the page.”—Adam S. Leslie, author of Lost in the Garden

“Nothing is what it seems in screenwriter Maclean’s labyrinthine second novel . . . A mind-bending mystery of young love and friendship forged in the search for forbidden knowledge, studded with secrets and coded clues. This puzzle-box quality imbues a cult allure — but its winning blend of vivid characters, eerie setting and beautiful writing bestows an appeal that will extend far beyond the corners of Reddit . . . Like The Secret History, it feels revelatory, and makes you want to spread the word.”—The Bookseller

“Intensely eerie, characters you care about all the way through, twists and turns that take it into thriller territory until it turns into full-on cosmic horror . . . It kept me guessing until the very end.”―James Alistair Henry, author of Pagans

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been this enthralled by a story. I knew Solace House had me when I found myself obsessively checking how many pages were left—not because I was in a hurry to finish, but because I wanted it to last.”—Matt Ruff, New York Times bestselling author of Lovecraft Country

“There is something inhabited about Maclean’s books—a total commitment to the horror and the humor, the beauty and the beastliness. Solace House is a haunted house story as full of hope as it is terror. It’s as if David Nicholls’ Sweet Sorrow and David Mitchell’s Slade House had a grotesque offspring that’s perpetually off its face on magic mushrooms.”―Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of Almost Life
