Fans of The Power will absolutely adore this captivating novel! Stylist is a masterful speculative novel that delves into the intricate boundaries between faith, conspiracy, and madness in contemporary America.

While lying in bed next to her husband one night, Claire Devon hears a low hum that he cannot. And, it seems, no one else can either. This innocuous noise begins causing Claire headaches, nosebleeds, insomnia, gradually upsetting the balance of her life, though no obvious source or medical cause can be found. When she discovers that a student of hers can also hear the hum, the two strike up an unlikely and intimate friendship.

Finding themselves increasingly isolated from their families and colleagues, they fall in with a disparate group of neighbors who also perceive the sound. What starts as a neighborhood self-help group gradually transforms into something far more extreme and with far-reaching, devastating consequences.

The Listeners is an exhilarating and erotic novel exploring the seduction of the wild and unknowable, the human search for the transcendent, the rise of conspiracy culture in the West, and the desire for community and connection in our increasingly polarised times.
