A small community on New Zealand’s Tasman Bay is suddenly overwhelmed by a bloodthirsty madness.

There are fourteen survivors.

Trapped in by a strange force-field called the ‘no-go’, cut off from the world outside, they must pull together, bury the dead and face their fears.

Because whatever caused the insanity is still at large. And it hasn’t finished with them yet.

Wake is a riveting tour-de-force. A book about extreme events, ordinary people, heroic compassion – and invisible monsters.

Reviews

Wake is the creepiest book I've ever loved: gorgeous, horrifying and insanely inventive. Elizabeth Knox continues to monopolize my awe pedestal.
Laini Taylor, author of Dreams of Gods and Monsters
Irresistible.
NZ Herald
Brilliant.
Emily Perkins, author of The Forrests
Elizabeth Knox has the most original and lateral literary mind in New Zealand . . . I steamed through the book; by the end my hair stood on end. I shouted , "Holy shit!" several times.
Metro
Wake lingers as more than an intricate piece of blood-splattered clockwork; it is the work of an author who knows horror is more than gross anatomy. It’s also the ghosts and ruins of our own hearts.
NZ Listener
Knox’s writing is sensory and lush and her imaginative intensity rivals the best of Diana Wynne Jones’s stories.
The Australian
Elizabeth Knox's gripping adult novels are literary but dynamic, sensuous and inventive. She has a striking ability to evoke a potent sense of time and place.
Independent
Sly and ingenious.
Eleanor Catton, author of The Luminaries, on Elizabeth Knox
