She’s been hearing things these days. Startling at loud noises. Imagining the worst-case scenario. It’s what mothers do, she knows.
But then the footsteps come again, and she catches a glimpse of movement.
Suddenly Molly finds herself face-to-face with an intruder who knows far too much about her and her family. As she attempts to protect those she loves most, Molly must also acknowledge her own frailty. Molly slips down an existential rabbit hole where she must confront the dualities of motherhood: the ecstasy and the dread; the languor and the ferocity; the banality and the transcendence as the book hurtles toward a mind-bending conclusion.
In
, Helen Phillips has created a subversive, speculative thriller that comes to life through blazing, arresting prose and gorgeous, haunting imagery. Anointed as one of the most exciting fiction writers working today,
is a glorious celebration of the bizarre and beautiful nature of our everyday lives.

—REBECCA MAKKAI, AUTHOR OF THE GREAT BELIEVERS

“Spellbinding… both unsettling and irresistible. Phillips manifests the surreal, terrifying, and visceral experience of motherhood.”

—DANA SPIOTTA, AUTHOR OF INNOCENTS AND OTHERS

“Helen Phillips has created an existential page-turner that captures, with perfect sharpness, the fierce delirium of motherhood, the longing to understand the workings of our universe, and the wondrous and terrifying mystery that is time. The Need is a brain-bending heartbreaker of a novel, and definitive proof that Helen Phillips is one of the most spellbindingly original writers working today.”

—LAURA VAN DEN BERG, AUTHOR OF THE THIRD HOTEL

“Hypnotically eerie… Phillips structures her astonishing fifth book in edge-of-your-seat mini-chapters that infuse domesticity with a horror-movie level of foreboding, reminding us that the maternal instinct is indeed a primal one.”

— O MAGAZINE
