Her best friend disappeared. A stranger came back. 

Julie is missing, and no one believes she will ever return - except Elise.

Elise knows Julie better than anyone. She feels it in her bones that her best friend is out there and that one day Julie will come back. She's right.

Two years to the day that Julie went missing, she reappears with no memory of where she's been or what happened to her. Along with Molly and Mae, their two close friends from college, the women decide to reunite at a remote inn. But the second Elise sees Julie, she knows something is wrong-she's emaciated, with sallow skin and odd appetites.

And as the weekend unfurls, it becomes impossible to deny that the Julie who vanished two years ago is not the same Julie who came back. But then who-or what-is she?

Sex and The City meets Stephen King's The Shining in this chilling debut. 

An eerie storm of a debut that fuses thriller and horror into a brilliant depiction of women's friendships - the rivalries, jealousies, anxieties and love. 

Praise for The Return

'The Return expertly treads the fine line between thriller and horror. It's as deliciously creepy as opening up a box of candy-coated spiders-and eating them all in one sitting' - Christina Dalcher, bestselling author of Vox

'By turns scary and funny, horrifying and real, The Return is impossible to put down. It takes an honest, scathing look at female friendship while at the same time pulling the reader into a perfect nightmare of a story' - Simone St. James, bestselling author of The Sun Down Motel

'Hair-raising horror and pure entertainment in Harrison's compulsively readable debut . . . The tension and nuance of Harrison's complicated female friendships add depth to an already delicious, chilling debut' - Publishers Weekly

'Fusing horror and thriller together, it's an unsettling tale of rivalry, envy, fear, friendship and love' - Culturefly's Books of 2020
