“Fascinating, disturbing, mysterious, and at times, downright creepy--Lili Anolik’s wonderfully twisted debut novel will intoxicate readers!” — John Searles, bestselling author of Help for the Haunted and Strange but True

“As much as this is a crime drama, it’s also a coming-of-age novel. The plot is high-suspense, but it’s the strength of the characters—and the strength of Anolik’s hypnotic, unfussy prose—that gives the book its lasting force. Wholly absorbing and emotionally rich...Deeply satisfying.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Insightful [and] complex ...Anolik’s haunting debut is tough to put down and will stay with you for a long time. The author’s characters and tone recall Donna Tartt’s The Secret History or Kimberly Pauley’s Ask Me.” — Library Journal (starred review)

“Great story, great twists, great insights -- a brilliant start to a novelist’s career.” — Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Burning Room

“One hell of a first novel. Dark Rooms is an elegant work of crime fiction with a plot as well-drawn as the characters who inhabit it. It’s a fine murder mystery as well as an exploration of loss and identity...Think Megan Abbott meets Twin Peaks.” — Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times-bestselling author of Don't Look Back

“Suspenseful, sad and, shattering...Whether or not you believe in ghosts, Anolik’s debut will haunt you.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“A Twin Peaks-twisted murder mystery.” — Elle
