Daring and dark, it explores themes of nihilism, escape, and desire, with classic noir echoes of Patricia Highsmith. Is it possible to become someone else? What are the consequences of doing so? Fearless in subject matter and stylistically brave, this is not a novel I’m going to forget anytime soon.” Julianne Pachico, author of The Anthill “A darkly compulsive debut, charged with the vertigo of sleeplessness, intoxication and obsessive intimacy.” Naomi Booth, author of Exit Management https://www.kiareladner.com/about daily 0.75 2023-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/0500286e-6b09-4732-b0e0-480d818c1113/IMG_1172.JPG https://www.kiareladner.com/mentoring daily 0.75 2025-09-18 https://www.kiareladner.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-01-28 https://www.kiareladner.com/events daily 0.75 2023-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1611755419924-7FSGTV79DS08QQ33HR25/Kiare+Ladner+Writer+Mentor Events Image © Amy Tibbles, original artwork for ‘Who’s in Your Car?’, Ambit. https://www.kiareladner.com/other-writing daily 0.75 2022-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1611829345470-BC641Z0B74829PIXXYA8/Screenshot+2021-01-27+at+10.35.32.png Kiare Ladner Interviews and Short Stories Van Rensburg’s Card, shortlisted for the BBC National Short Story Award https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1611829909075-O5RDPEBRDKNGUGGUDHF9/Screenshot+2021-01-27+at+13.42.02.png Kiare Ladner Interviews and Short Stories Stabane, Lightship Anthology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1611829845737-DUU3QSAWIS3UWESUEIIU/Screenshot+2021-01-27+at+10.46.57.png Kiare Ladner Interviews and Short Stories - Nku’s Ball, New Contrast Nku’s Ball, New Contrast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1612187811045-IEKK0DUMW0TF85EG9W4W/image3.jpg Kiare Ladner Interviews and Short Stories On Front Row with John Humphries to talk about Van Rensburg’s Card, which was read by Carolyn Pickles on BBC Radio 4. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1614864681203-OSTZTCZXNWO65LPQTJZW/skylight.png Kiare Ladner Interviews and Short Stories I am currently working on my second novel, Skylight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1611829325095-0P5UCM4EJGXVRR7XLJL7/Screenshot+2021-01-27+at+10.21.17.png Kiare Ladner Interviews and Short Stories - The Little Things & Rise Above It both on BBC Radio 4 The Little Things & Rise Above It both on BBC Radio 4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1611829366754-PQNO9CTYJZ7J3OKJACZ5/Screenshot+2021-01-27+at+10.37.26.png Kiare Ladner Interviews and Short Stories Mission To Mars, Wasafiri https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1611829797760-TP7SP300TRQGUZXDJIP5/Screenshot+2021-01-27+at+10.45.07.png Kiare Ladner Interviews and Short Stories - Who’s in Your Car, Ambit Who’s in Your Car, Ambit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1614864292902-JOLYUBXEXZ664OHBHD0A/Leftovers.png Kiare Ladner Interviews and Short Stories Leftovers, Eclectica https://www.kiareladner.com/reviews daily 0.75 2022-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1627319076698-D14LM3SH12JM1X5TG31S/NIGHTSHIFT_FA.jpg Reviews, Lists, Quotes “Ladner's gorgeous shadowy writing creates a daunting but exhilarating world that’s difficult to leave.” — The Skinny “You'll rip through this, reading through the night, as fixated on the story as Ladner's characters are fixated on each other.” — Glamour “Brilliant and addictive.. hallucinatory and haunting.” — Jacqueline Yallop, author of Big Pig, Little Pig “This is a debut to be cherished.” — bookoxygen “Walking the fine line between fascination and obsession can be thrilling and electrifying, even if also terrifying and destructive. In Nightshift, Kiare Ladner's absorbing and surprising debut novel, Meggie Groenewald goes on a booze- and drug-fueled journey of sexual exploration when she becomes entranced by her seductive and enigmatic coworker Sabine Dubreil […] Within the tangled mess of Meggie's traumatic past and unhealthy fixation with Sabine, it becomes unclear who is the truly toxic one in the pair--and who is careening toward a more tragic outcome.” — Shelf Awareness “Debut novelist Ladner has darkness in her bones… Nightshift has atmosphere to spare, and the unstable friendship at its core is rendered with the right amount of moodiness.” — CrimeReads, ‘5 Psychological Thrillers You Should Read This February’ “Debut novelist Ladner is a gifted stylist” — Kirkus Reviews “Ladner sustains a deliriously lurid rabbit hole for Meggie to go down as she fixates on her unreliable ‘fairy tale friend’ who she longs not only to know but also to be. The result is a tense and affecting tale of awakening.” — Publishers Weekly “Ladner’s gritty debut looks at the fringes of human functionality and underworld London, ultimately asking if we can escape ourselves by becoming someone else.” — The Face, ‘Best debut novelists to keep on your radar’ https://www.kiareladner.com/zoomevent daily 0.75 2021-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601027eb80445a687c9c9b98/1621595732512-G7ZV00XC7I4O4UL5M2MZ/Kiare+and+Natasha+flyer.png Zoom Event with Kiare Ladner & Natasha Boydell - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kiareladner.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2024-05-10
