Reviews
Dripping with menace from the first page, this story of childhood enemies meeting up fifteen years later is utterly enthralling.... [C]ompelling, shocking, and beautiful., A moving and unflinching portrayal of a man caught in a trap of his own making, but willing to do almost anything--to almost anybody--if it will keep him from having to face up to himself. Hawk Mountain is a wonderfully bleak and beautifully written debut., A supremely tense debut, Conner Habib's Hawk Mountain channels Patricia Highsmith by way of Hitchcock. ...Habib builds the sense of dread with slow, carefully meted out notes of obsession and intuition., The action of the story moves swiftly. ...[T]he chapters are all short and evocative, designed to keep the pages turning., The tension is palpable on every page, and Habib skillfully illustrates the complexity of relationships and the pain of unmet desires, both queer and otherwise. His prose is as brutal as it is profound and beautiful. ...A brutal and gorgeous tale of manipulation, control, and desire., Conner Habib's debut novel is a bleak, dark adrenaline rush.--Clive Barker A deeply disturbing yet, somehow, soaring novel I won't soon forget. It plumbs the depths of traumatized characters trapped within our damaging culture. I couldn't look away, even when I was looking from between my fingers.--Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers Club The opening lines of Hawk Mountain plummet you into an atmosphere of creeping dread and precarious restraint that won't let up until the final, shocking moments.--Caitlin Doughty, bestselling author of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes Hawk Mountain is deft horror, made of precise strikes into our most vulnerable psychic terrain... Finally, a horror story that knows cisheteropatriarchy is the villain!--Andrea Lawlor, author of Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl Dripping with menace from the first page, this story of childhood enemies meeting up fifteen years later is utterly enthralling... [T]his savage tale is uncompromising in its reflection of teen friendships and isolation, and unflinching in its examination of the delicacy of the human body. There is gold among the gore... [C]ompelling, shocking, and beautiful.--Liz Nugent, author of Lying in Wait Conner Habib writes with [a] hallucinatory precision, and a kind of merciless humanity, about the poisonous work of repression. His forebears--Poe, Highsmith, even classical tragedy--are clear, but his originality is clearer still. Hawk Mountain is a work of strange, glittering darkness.--Mark O'Connell, author of Notes from an Apocalypse, There's a lot going on here and Habib skilfully manages to juggle it all, entangling the reader in a gripping narrative, one we can identify more with as each page turns., This heart-pounding thriller will have readers furiously turning pages...this gorgeous debut affirms [Habib's] stunning gift for dissecting humanity., This masterful debut explores the darkest matter with a surprising and unnerving relatability and is a page-turner in the most classic sense., Impossible to put down....Conner Habib has written a debut novel which has the style, elevated prose and assurance of a much more experienced novelist., A menacing page-turner that will keep readers hooked until its grisly end. Habib has created a small but visceral world, terrifying in its realism and heartbreaking in its portrayal. Gaslighting, masculinity and cycles of abuse are all skilfully handled in a story that is, to put it lightly, not for the faint of heart., Impossible to put down from the start, but at the same time you just want it to end - because the tension and menace that begins to grow from the first page escalates with each page you turn. ... Conner Habib has written a debut novel which has the style, elevated prose and assurance of a much more experienced novelist., The opening lines of Hawk Mountain plummet you into an atmosphere of creeping dread and precarious restraint that won't let up until the final, shocking moments., From the first page of this compelling novel, the reader is drawn into a world both familiar and unfamiliar all at once. This masterful debut explores the darkest matter with a surprising and unnerving relatability and is a page-turner in the most classic sense., A supremely tense debut, Conner Habib's Hawk Mountain channels Patricia Highsmith by way of Hitchcock....Habib builds the sense of dread with slow, carefully meted out notes of obsession and intuition., Habib brings rich psychological insight to his characters, expertly observing how the conflicts of youth persist into Todd and Jack's present. ...[T]his dramatic tale soars., Habib's unique examination of his flawed and fascinating characters as the victims and sources of violence is both disturbing and insightful. ...With haunting prose and deeply atmospheric descriptions, Hawk Mountain is a disturbing descent into the convulsions of the human mind and heart., Conner Habib writes with [a] hallucinatory precision, and a kind of merciless humanity, about the poisonous work of repression. His forebears--Poe, Highsmith, even classical tragedy--are clear, but his originality is clearer still. Hawk Mountain is a work of strange, glittering darkness., Hawk Mountain is deft horror, made of precise strikes into our most vulnerable psychic terrain... Finally, a horror story that knows cisheteropatriarchy is the villain!, A menacing page-turner....Habib has created a small but visceral world, terrifying in its realism and heartbreaking in its portrayal. Gaslighting, masculinity and cycles of abuse are all skillfully handled in a story that is, to put it lightly, not for the faint of heart., A deeply disturbing yet, somehow, soaring novel I won't soon forget. It plumbs the depths of traumatized characters trapped within our damaging culture. I couldn't look away, even when I was looking from between my fingers., A brilliantly disturbing, expertly crafted literary noir that will stick with you long after you put it down. Conner Habib has written a flawless meditation on the fruitless, but eternally human, effort to kill off the parts of ourselves we cannot love--literally and metaphorically. I love this book.
