The Night is Not For You (2025)
Eman Quotah
"The Night Is Not for You is a fierce coming of age novel unlike any I've read before. Steeped in dread and a wild, aromatic atmosphere, this story is a shapeshifter - from murder mystery to folktale to family drama and back again. Through this mutability, Eman Quotah perfectly captures the dark heart of girlhood, the fear of what lurks in the night, and the thrill of lurking there yourself."
