Description:

“Mythical, magical, and chillingly real…Adrianne Harun’s writing can hold you breathless.”
—Jess Walter, author of *Beautiful Ruins

In this mysterious and chilling novel
, girls, mostly Native, are vanishing from the sides of a notorious highway in the isolated Pacific Northwest. Leo Kreutzer and his friends are barely touched by these disappearances—until a series of enigmatic strangers arrive in their remote mountain town, beguiling and bewitching them.

It seems as if the devil himself has appeared among them.

The intoxicatingly lush debut novel by the acclaimed author of
The King of Limbo, A Man Came Out of a Door in the Mountain* is an unsettling portrait of life in a dead-end town, as seductive and beautifully written as the devil’s dark arts are wielded.

“Adrianne Harun possesses the rare ability to see the world at an odd tilt that makes everything appear new, at times even to shimmer.”
*—Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls

“[Written] with astonishing vividness…I have long been a fan of Harun’s work, and A Man Came Out of a Door in the Mountain has raised my admiration to new heights."
*—Margot Livesey,  author of The Flight of Gemma Hardy
