Praise for The Listeners:

?Fantastic on conspiracy theories, cults, faith and mania and stuffed full of engaging characters? Daily Mail

?The Listeners starts as a little hum in your ear and ends up blowing the top off your head. A deeply plausible, funny, horrifying story of a journey right off the rails? Emma Donoghue, author of The Pull of the Stars

?I loved this book. Tannahill is such a skilled prose stylist that this book manages to be both a page-turning unravelling of a family and a manic, fully-alive monologue of a woman going over the edge? Zoe Whittall, author of The Spectacular

?One of those rare novels that entered my soul, rearranged my brain cells and then my world view. Tannahill writes with the
heat and wisdom of a God? Claudia Dey, author of Heartbreaker and Stunt

?Breathtakingly timely. It?s an enigmatic story of 21st-century melancholia motored by sentences at once propulsive and erudite (that beautiful synthesis). Everyone?s going to be talking about this book? Billy-Ray Belcourt, author of A History of My Brief Body

?Tannahill has written an engaging, shocking and hilarious story about how a woman's search for deeper meaning leads to an entire town being in crisis. It is a testament to the revulsion and horror an ordinary person can inspire when they decide to simply peek outside of the box? Heather O?Neill, author of The Lonely Hearts Hotel

?A breathtakingly, breathholdingly good novel from one of the most original writers in this country. Tannahill serves up enormous ideas in delicious slices. What?s truth? Who do we trust? Is skepticism better than belief? He has a playwright?s ear and a director?s eye. I didn?t so much read the novel as watch it unfold? Ian Williams, author of Reproduction
