"Fabulously creepy and compulsively readable, A GUIDE TO THE DARK should come with its own guide to the dark. Part roadside horror, part cozy mystery, Metoui breathes life into the genre by exploring the tangled roots of friendship, love, and guilt. Chilling photography complements beautiful prose for an altogether innovative storytelling experience. I’ll think twice before checking into a motel again." ―David Arnold, New York Times bestselling author of Mosquitoland
