Read by Hillary Huber

A mysterious library holds the secrets to the universe.

With an unforgettable cast of characters and a plot that will shock you again and again, The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins is astonishingly alien and heartbreakingly human. This cult classic novel, available for the first time in digital audio in the UK, signals the return of a major voice in fantasy.


Carolyn's not so different from normal people. She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes are sometimes tricky, but everyone says nice things about her Christmas sweater and gold bicycle shorts.

After all, she was a normal American once.

But that was a long time ago. Before her parents died. Before she and the others were taken in by a man they called Father.

Since then, Carolyn and her adopted siblings have studied the books in his Library and learned some of the secrets of his mysterious powers. Sometimes, they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God.

Now, Father is missing – perhaps dead – and the Library stands unguarded. And with it, control over all of creation. As Carolyn prepares for a battle to control the Lirary, fierce competitors align against her, all of them with powers that far exceed her own.

But Carolyn has accounted for this. And Carolyn has a plan. But in this war to make a new God, can she retain the things that make her human?

Unlike anything else you will ever listen to, The Library at Mount Char is the word-of-mouth cult sensation – perfect for fans of Susanna Clarke, Stephen King and Lev Grossman.

Don't miss Blacktail, the long-awaited second novel by Scott Hawkins, a decade in the making.

批評家のレビュー

An ambitious and perplexing debut that sits somewhere on the border of thriller and speculative fiction, morbid and action-packed and existential and utterly resistant to categorization (V. E. Schwab, author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil)
The Library at Mount Char is a brilliant masterwork. A modern The Stand. It's one of the best books I've ever read (Sarah Langan, author of Trad Wife and Good Neighbours)
A terrific book, full of dark mystery and genuine beauty (Richard Kadrey, New York Times bestselling author of Sandman Slim)
A first-rate novel . . . a sprawling, epic contemporary fantasy about cruelty and the end of the world, compulsively readable, with the deep, resonant magic of a world where reality is up for grabs. Unputdownable (Cory Doctorow, New York Times bestselling author of Little Brother)
Funny, horrifying and original . . . the kind of story that keeps yanking you off in ridiculous new directions every time you think you know what's coming next (Jason Pargin, New York Times bestselling author of John Dies at the End)
A spellbinding story of world-altering power and revenge . . . Hawkins has created a fascinating, unusual world in which ordinary people can learn to wield breathtaking power – and he's also written a compelling story about love and revenge that never loses sight of the human emotions at its heart. A wholly original, engrossing, disturbing, and beautiful book (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))
An extravagant, beautifully imagined fantasy about a universe that is both familiar and unfamiliar . . . Hawkins makes nary a misstep in this award-worthy effort of imagination. You won't be able to put it down (Booklist (starred review))
