With her latest novel A Light Most Hateful, Hailey Piper may have delivered her most gripping and powerful horror story yet.
Hailey Piper is one of the most powerful rising voices in genre fiction for a number of reasons. She’s got a great narrative voice, a knack for creating remarkable settings, and such a clear grasp on the kinds of stories she wants to tell that she can mash up any number of genres, plot devices, and places while never losing her particular identity as a storyteller.
To go into greater detail would be to diminish what Piper is able to pull off in the book’s back half, but suffice it to sayis perhaps the most ambitious book she’s ever written, a luminous and terrifyingly relatable nightmare that digs into everything from the nature of creation to the nature of individuality and so much more, all while never losing sight of the intimate relationship between two girls who found each other in the midst of a cruel and unpredictable world.
And of course, on top of all this, the book is also quite scary. Piper’s never been lacking in unforgettable imagery throughout her career, and this book is no exception. From the first appearance of a monster to the story’s unforgettable, beautifully monstrous climax, this is a book dripping with haunting imagery and moments that’ll linger in your head long after you’ve closed it, and those visuals never come at the expense of the story.

They are considered ecologically important because they act against a wide range of herbivores and reduce their feeding. Benzoxazinoids also exhibit antimicrobial properties and are thought to be involved in mediating plant-plant interactions.
