About the Author
Riley Sager — the pen name of Todd Ritter — debuted in 2017 with 'Final Girls,' a thriller that arrived fully formed, earning praise from Stephen King and landing immediately on the bestseller lists. Each subsequent novel has operated as a standalone with a new horror-inflected premise: haunted houses, locked-room murders, mysterious lakes. What unites them is a meticulous structural control — Sager builds his reveals over hundreds of pages before detonating them with precision — and a genuine affection for the genre conventions he subverts. For readers who want literary thrillers with the visceral energy of horror, Sager's catalog is one of the most consistent pleasures of recent popular fiction.
