"Night Owls is all about shining a light. First, into the little-known corners of New York Jewry--the Syrian community of Brooklyn; the history of the Yiddish theater--and then even deeper, to a thrilling underworld with footless demons and ageless beauties who fly in the night. This world is only whispered about in certain circles (IYKYK) but A. R. Vishny brings it to dazzling life in frightening and luminous strokes. Reading Night Owls feels like being let in on a secret--and then glamoured. You'll fall in love without even knowing what hit you." -- Goldy Moldavsky, New York Times bestselling author of The Mary Shelley Club

"With gripping, immersive prose and a cast of characters that flies off the page, Night Owls will sink its teeth into you. Vishny has crafted a debut as sparkling as stage lights." -- Rachel Moore, author of Us in Ruins and The Library of Shadows

"Night Owls is a fantastic debut, packed with all of my favorite things--Jewish folklore, Yiddish theater, lesbian vampire girls, and busybody synagogue elders who can't stop trying to tell you what to do even from beyond the grave. I love the cultural depth and specificity of Vishny's mythology, which draws on a mix of Ashkenazi, Talmudic, and Syrian Jewish traditions. A fun adventure as rich and layered as Jewish New York itself." -- Sacha Lamb, author of the Printz Honor and Sydney Taylor and Stonewall Award-winning When the Angels Left the Old Country

"Whether it was the haunting folklore, the eerie theater, the second chances, or the first love, I devoured this book like a bloodthirsty monster." -- Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles
