Just about everyone knows a family like the Radleys. Many of us grew up next door to one. They are a modern family, averagely content, averagely dysfunctional, living in a staid and quiet suburban English town. Peter is an overworked doctor whose wife, Helen, has become increasingly remote and uncommunicative. Rowan, their teenage son, is being bullied at school, and their anemic daughter, Clara, has recently become a vegan. They are typical, that is, save for one devastating exception: Peter and Helen are vampires and have—for seventeen years—been abstaining by choice from a life of chasing blood in the hope that their children could live normal lives. One night, Clara finds herself driven to commit a shocking—and disturbingly satisfying—act of violence, and her parents are forced to explain their history of shadows and lies. A police investigation is launched that uncovers a richness of vampire history heretofore unknown to the general public. And when the malevolent and alluring Uncle Will, a practicing vampire, arrives to throw the police off Clara's trail, he winds up throwing the whole house into temptation and turmoil and unleashing a host of dark secrets that threaten the Radleys' marriage. The Radleys is a moving, thrilling, and radiant domestic novel that explores with daring the lengths a parent will go to protect a child, what it costs you to deny your identity, the undeniable appeal of sin, and the everlasting, iridescent bonds of family love. Read it and ask what we grow into when we grow up, and what we gain—and lose—when we deny our appetites.

“I was not Professor Andrew Martin. That is the first thing I should say. He was just a role. A disguise. Someone I needed to be in order to complete a task.” Before our hero is sent from his distant planet to Earth, his life is governed by perfection and precision. On his home world, mathematics has transformed his people, giving them the ability to create a utopian society where knowledge is limitless and immortality is attainable. But when Cambridge professor Andrew Martin cracks the Reimann Hypothesis, opening a doorway to the same technology that the alien’s planet possesses, the narrator is sent to Earth to erase all evidence of the solution and kill anyone who had seen the proof. The only catch: the alien has no idea what he's up against among the humans. Disgusted by the excess of disease, violence, and even noises he encounters, he struggles to pass undetected long enough to gain access to Martin’s research. What he doesn’t count on is having to blend in with Martin’s family—his angry wife, Isabel, shamed by Martin’s affair with a student; and his son, Gulliver, for fifteen years deprived of his father’s love and attention. But in picking up the pieces of Martin’s shattered personal life, the narrator begins seeing a kind of hope and redemption in the humans’ imperfections themselves, and questions his marching orders. Mathematics or no, he becomes increasingly convinced that Isabel and Gulliver deserve to live. Deliciously witty and darkly insightful, The Humans offers an unlikely story about human nature and an unusual celebration of the joy that is in the very messiness of life on Earth a funny, compulsively readable tale certain to win the hearts of Matt's fans and new audiences alike.
