Zoje Stage
From the brilliant Zoje Stage, Bram Stoker Award finalist and author of Baby Teeth, Something of a Calling is an unsettling look at a woman—and a world—on the brink of change. This gorgeous hardcover edition includes sprayed edges.
Detective Andy Cooper is about to retire. She isn’t sure what’s next … perhaps traveling in the RV she has yet to buy, with a dog she doesn’t currently own. Perhaps gardening near the ever-shrinking patch of woods behind her house—once the cable company’s backhoe is removed.
She’ll need to do something, if only to distract herself from how empty her life has become. After the murder of her young daughter by a drunk driver. After the divorce. After the realization that all she has is her job and that she’s about to lose that, too.
Everything changes when bodies begin to turn up. Murdered, but how? Not by knife, gun, or any obvious weapon. Instead: teeth marks. Chunks missing. Like they’d been chewed on. And not by humans.
As she’s struggling to solve her final case, an unexpected new friendship seems like just what Andy needs. Where she is detached from life, Fiona embraces it. Where she is a homebody, Fiona roams. Yet the women are drawn together by a shared love of nature and wildlife. Until Andy learns the dark truth behind Fiona’s smile. A secret that threatens to unravel the world as she knows it.

“From one of the best writers working today, Something of a Calling is an intriguing eco-horror police procedural, with breakneck pacing, deftly drawn characters, and enough chilling scenes to send you running for a blanket while looking askance at those deer at the bottom of your yard.”
(Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Sour Candy and Kin)“Stage is a writer with a gift for the lyrical and the frightening.”
(The New York Times Book Review, praise for the author)“The master of the psychological thriller.”
(Entertainment Weekly, praise for the author)“Rare is a writer who produces a page-turner. More unusual is an author who does so book after book, yet Zoje Stage, a master novelist, has gifted fans another chilling read.”
(Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle on Dear Hanna)“Author Zoje Stage flourishes in creating layered, manipulative, and deranged characters.”
(Chicago Book Review on Dear Hanna)“Stage expertly melds her brand of dread with a crime story lying just beneath the surface.”
(Washington Post on Mothered)“A chilling thriller that will definitely make you lose sleep at night.”
(PopSugar on Getaway)“You’ll tear through this thrilling, heartrending supernatural crime novel. But when you’re done? You’ll need a hot minute to sit with Stage’s wildly smart (and timely) message. And yes, you will fall in love with these characters. Because they’re wonderful.”
(Erika T. Wurth, author of White Horse and The Haunting of Room 904)“This novel went places I never expected…It’s a cozy, easy to get into, and enjoyable read…and really surprised me with its latter half. Something of a Calling by Zoje Stage gripped me on a rough night and was hard to put down. I kept wanting to learn more, and really liked its main character, Andy.”
(Eggplante!)“A world-weary cop happens upon a grisly murder and a terrifying mystery she never saw coming. Stage brings truly heartfelt characters to life in this unexpected thriller. Shocking and original, I can’t get it out of my head!”
(D. M. Pulley, bestselling author of The Dead Key and Stone Mad)“A parable all too close to our current moment…Exploring themes of environmental collapse and humanity’s destruction of the natural world, Stage’s fast-paced yet contemplative eco-horror novella…will appeal to fans of socially conscious horror with bite.”
(Booklist)“[An] impressive cli-fi thriller…Stage’s skilled plotting and nuanced character work results in a gripping and emotionally affecting novel that wrestles with hard questions about the consequences of humans abusing the earth. This packs a punch.”
(Publishers Weekly)
