“There's very strong, deft, scary horror here, but there's also a rage that'll pull you in by the face, not let you look away.”—Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

“Mathilda Zeller’s novel reminds us that our history and our stories have teeth. It Looks Like You In the Dark teaches us that the blood within us and the nature that surrounds us have much in common: both can be brilliant, dangerous, and resilient. From the rich portraits of Chukchi, Alaska to the way Tapeesa’s voice sings on the page, Zeller’s prose is sharp and chilling.”—Carson Faust, author of If the Dead Belong Here

“As chilling as permafrost and as inescapably dark as a never-ending Arctic winter. But while Mathilda Zeller has peopled her story with all-too-real evils and folkloric nightmares, she also never loses the promise of a future sunrise. A stellar expansion of her excellent short story.”—Nat Cassidy, USA Today bestselling author of When the Wolf Comes Home

"A haunting story of survival, love, and resilience in the face of terror. . . . Zeller beautifully shows us that our culture, language, and songs are powerful tools against the darkness and will protect our community in the face of extinction. A haunting story of resilience, land, and family showcasing the love of our culture that I found myself thinking about days later.”–Cara Jade Myers, Filmmaker & Killers of the Flower Moon Actress

“In the village of Chukchi, Alaska, something lurks in the frigid night. A thing of legend with an insatiable appetite for vengeance. It Looks Like You in the Dark is a chilling tale of suspense and Native American lore. Mathilda Zeller has taken Indigenous horror to a whole new level in her debut novel.”—Owl Goingback, Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of Crota.

“Acts like an ice pick to the nervous system: freezing, terrifying and guaranteed to make you second-guess everything sharing a room with you in the dark.”—Shane Hawk, editor of the best-selling anthology Never Whistle at Night

“Compelling and gripping... Zeller is an author to watch.”—Booklist

“Passionate horror debut... [with] plenty to enjoy.”—Publishers Weekly

Mathilda Zeller writes horror and fantasy. Her short story, “Kushtuka,” which was the foundation for this novel, is the first in the bestselling anthology of dark Indigenous fiction, Never Whistle At Night. Mathilda’s family and roots extend deep into the Kobuk River Valley, which inspires and informs her writing.

Mathilda Zeller is a pen name, honoring two of the author’s resilient great-grandmothers.
