description: The seductive and chilling debut novel from the critically acclaimed author of The King of LimboIn isolated British Columbia girls mostly native are vanishing from the sides of a notorious highway. Leo Kreutzer and his four friends are barely touched by these disappearancesuntil a series of mysterious and troublesome outsiders come to town. Then it seems as if the devil himself has appeared among them.In this intoxicatingly lush debut novel Adrianne Harun weaves together folklore mythology and elements of magical realism to create a compelling and unsettling portrait of life in a dead-end town. A Man Came Out of a Door in the Mountain is atmospheric and evocative of place and a group of people much in the way that Jesmyn Wards Salvage the Bones conjures the South or Charles Bocks Beautiful Children provides a glimpse of the Las Vegas underworld: kids left to fend for themselves in a broken worldrendered with grit and poetry in equal measure.
