Wow, such an intense story! Not knowing what to believe has made it even harder to put the book down! The plot was so gripping, I did not know what to expect at all! The characters were convincing, all of them notwithstanding their strangeness..... I guessed some bits in the last 20% of the novel but the conclusion was also a very interesting surprise.... A great read!

I read an eARC of this book on NetGalley so thank you to the author and the publisher.
It took me a little while to get into this book but I absolutely flew through the second half. This is a historical tale. A woman excavating a burial site finds her discoveries start to unearth secrets from her own past.
There was a particular quality to the writing here that managed to be quite beautiful and sinister simultaneously.
What stood out most to me was how confused and troubled the main character must be. She is so frequently dismissed, diminished or out right lied to. Where she attempts to place her trust in people, there are some who are not being forthright. Prepare to be particularly angry at the behaviour of one individual. We will see some dreadful treatment of women in this story. I will avoid spoilers but I do want to highlight how stressful this felt at times not knowing who we could trust and seeing how the main character was affected by betrayal. A clever choice by the author to create an insidious tension and paranoid feeling throughout the book.
I found this engaging, I found myself kept on my toes throughout this read. A clever story bolstered by some lovely writing. I’d read more from this author.

Lil, the Night Hag's central character, is a young woman who is is trying to move on from her past. She finds escape from her strange upbringing and spiritualist mother with Effie and Nils, the archaeologists that take her under their wings, as well as an interest in their work. But when they start a dig in Scotland, the past seems to come back to haunt Lil and she's not sure if the dig has disturbed a spirit, the Night Hag, or if she is losing her mind.
The premise of the story interested me and I was pleased to get an ARC copy from the Netgalley/the publisher. I enjoyed the way Lil's past unfurled through letters to a psychiatrist and the gothic atmosphere was set up well, but I actually think I would've liked even more gothic and supernatural elements.
After a promising start, I found the middle section a little less engaging and it's not until close to the end that the story picks up and long held secrets are revealed. I think I would have enjoyed the novel more if I hadn't felt that most of the characters were unlikeable and I didn't have any strong feelings towards Lil. I also struggled with reading some of the Scottish dialect.
Overall it was an interesting read. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC.

Promising premise, young woman who's past is. linked to spiritualism, has escaped to work as an assistant to a couple who work as archeoligsts. She is haunted by night -mares which paralyse her night terrors. The gothic Victorian setting is another positive. However as the plot moves forward it loses it's footing, becomes to loose and confused. What I found jarring is the modern terms used in a historical novel, the "gender" is used multiple times instead of sex, the Victorians used the word gender but it didn't mean the same as it does now, this came into being in 1955. Use the correct language it's not difficult.

advance review copy received from NetGalley in return for an honest review
The Night Hag is an atmospheric gothic mystery set in 1880s Scotland, filled with fog, superstition, and the uneasy tension between science and the supernatural. Hester Musson writes beautifully — her sense of setting is rich and immersive, and the blend of archaeology and folklore is genuinely intriguing.
That said, I found the story slower than expected. The tone and pacing suit the gothic mood, but I occasionally struggled to stay fully invested, especially in the middle sections. I admired the ambition of the themes — identity, reason versus belief, the weight of the past — but emotionally, it didn’t quite land for me.
Still, it’s a well-crafted, thoughtful novel with moments of real atmosphere and insight. Readers who enjoy a slow-burn, cerebral kind of gothic fiction will likely get more out of it than I did.
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for the opportunity to read this early copy.

There was so much to love about this book and each of the had clearly been well researched before writing, the folklore, the curse, sleep paralysis etc. I however found they just didn’t really mesh well for me? I found the story slow and really struggled to get stuck into it.
Review of advance copy received from Publisher
Curses, folklore and superstition all set in Scotland, yes please! Even the title of The Night Hag promises a chilling tale.
One thing I like about Hester Musson’s writing, other than the atmosphere and claustrophobia, is the portrayal of heroines who defy the confines of Victorian femininity. Headstrong, feisty, maverick. This was a strong point in The Beholders and in The Night Hag I was once again immediately drawn to the female MC, this time Lil, who gave zero f**ks and followed her passions.
There was a lot to love about this one, the masterful weaving of folklore, history, mystery and mediumship and the growing tension throughout. The empowered heroine and her journey of self discovery. However, there were multiple threads at the start of this book, so many that I found it hard to follow and was at risk of losing the sense of the plot. Things started to fuse midway through though and I was all for the drama that ensued towards the end.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
I really enjoyed Hester Musson’s debut The Beholders, so my expectations here were high.
The Night Hag delivers much of what I hoped for. Musson writes with confidence and intelligence, and her command of atmosphere is excellent. The Scottish Highlands feel brooding, isolated, and saturated with history. The novel’s engagement with archaeology, folklore, and Victorian spiritualism is clearly well researched and thoughtfully handled.
The slow unravelling works particularly well. Backstory emerges gradually, often through letters, which deepens the gothic unease and keeps the tension simmering. The novel constantly interrogates belief versus scepticism, science versus superstition, truth versus performance.
“She knew she could dig up every last scrap of bone, scrutinise every remnant of pot and still know close to nothing about the people who had built the barrow.”
Musson is especially sharp when examining power and gender, and the way women are dismissed, mistrusted, or pathologised.
“A woman behaving erratically, driven to impropriety by the phantoms in her mind.”
The critique of spiritualism is biting and often deeply uncomfortable.
“She loathed them all, the boneless dupes, who swallowed every stupefyingly obvious piece of fakery they were fed.”
Where the book faltered for me was character. I found every single character unlikeable. Not troubling in a morally complex way, but emotionally distancing. Because I did not care about them, I never fully invested in what happened, no matter how compelling the ideas or atmosphere.
There is also simply too much going on. Folklore, archaeology, spiritualism, family trauma, gender politics, superstition, psychological collapse. Many of these threads are fascinating on their own, but together they sometimes feel disjointed. Several plot elements are introduced and never fully followed through.
Still, this remains a solid gothic novel. The prose is strong, the research impressive, and the atmosphere richly sustained, even if the story never fully coalesced into something emotionally gripping for me.
And the cover deserves a mention. It is absolutely gorgeous.
3 out of 5.
A thoughtful, atmospheric gothic tale that will appeal to readers who enjoy slow burns, historical folklore, and the uneasy boundary between belief and reason.

In the late 1800s seances were common social events, and Lilith (Lil) was born to be a medium, or so it seemed was the view of her mother, Madelyn, the famous medium. As soon as she was old enough, about six, Lil had been brought into the business, and by her early teens she was an accomplished performer, appearing to the bereaved as a vision of, or the voice of, the deceased; or conveying a message from her spirit guide. Although Madelyn seems convinced that real spirits are directing everything, Lil does not. Throughout this time, Lil has been haunted by a Night Hag, an extreme form of nightmare (or a supernatural intervention if you ascribe to that possibility). This comes in various forms, but always as a kind of succubus suspended over or pressing down on her sleeping body; as if threatening her death.
But after Lil escapes from Madelyn’s bizarre world, working first as a Governess and then as an assistant Archaeologist, The Hag vanishes. She is working in Norway, as a team with professional archaeologists Effie and Nils when the opportunity to dig a Bronze Age Barrow in Scotland materialises. Lil and Nils start on this project although Effie stays in Edinburg; too ill for field work.
The Barrow is known to also contain a horde of gold artifacts which must not be disturbed, otherwise a death curse will be unleashed on the children of the local village. Lil is only interested in the archaeological insights they might glean, but Effie covets a special brooch which is part of the hoard. Rational science versus superstition and folklore, but as the excavation progresses, secrets from everyone’s past start to appear, and threaten to destroy Lil.
Spirits, hauntings, ancient curses! It seems that this is a supernatural story or at least a ghost story, but this is the Age of Science, of Rationalism, and Lil is a scientific rationalist. So the story is broader than that, and somewhat diluted thereby. It’s a bit of a family story, or saga. It is also a minor mystery story. There is an element of tension, but it is not a thriller. Overall, It is well written, with accurate historical details which are integral to the plot. However, the plot itself is not very complicated, really just smoke and mirrors, an ectoplasmic manifestation with no real substance, and although there are some minor surprises there are no real twists. It will attract an audience, but it disappointed me.
I would like to thank NetGalley, the publishers and the author for providing me with a draft proof copy for the purpose of this review.

The premise of this story very much pulled me in and I was very pleased to get an arc copy to read. It is Scotland in 1886 and 28 year old Lil is writing to a doctor, whom she hopes can help with the night-mares she has been having. She is working as an archeologist, excavating a burial mound and she wonders if the visions that appear to her at night are related to the hoard they find - a treasure that the superstitious locals want kept underground as they believe it has brought a curse over newborns in the village.
In her letters to the doctors Lil gradually reveals her childhood, working with Madelyn in seances to bring spirits to life and amaze the sitters in the audience. As Lil grows she is drawn more and more into this life including being shut in a box and 'manifesting' in a darkened room, and trance writing for the patrons. It was at this time in her life that the night-mares first started and led her to think she was being tricked by those around her.
These supernatural hauntings are at odds with Lil's rational mind and her work as a scientist and she tries to explain the visions away but as the past catches up with her, she finds there are a great many people to blame for the situation she finds herself in.
The book started well, drawing me into the story, but it was slow to get going and there were a lot of convenient coincidences that made it rather unbelievable. I found it hard to relate to Lil and many of the other characters were quite unpleasant. Much as I liked the many details of seances and details about how the they worked and the different tricks involved, and the setting and details of the time period, the story was lacking something to latch on to. In all I thought it had potential and appreciated the research that went into writing it, but wasn't quite there. An interesting read but I found I rather slogged through it.
I would be happy to try another novel from this author.

🖤 THE NIGHT HAG 🖤
Feeling a bit icky about this review already, because there's so much about this book that I should and DID love...
This story flits between rural folklore and Victorian occultism. It fuses an archaeological dig with ancient stones, a disturbed hoard of sinister treasure and a whopping great curse that goes with it (LOVE IT), with a tragic character backstory of sham spiritualism (LOVE IT) and escaping an abuser. Then you've got some harrowing night terror/sleep paralysis depictions that chill right to the bone (LOVE. ITTTTT)
BUT I struggled to meld it all together. It felt like I was swapping between two different books at times. The pacing in the middle sections was stuttery and I sometimes found myself trying to read it as quickly as possible so that I could get back to what was going on in the present. The alienist/scientific aspects kinda got buried for me for the most part, and as much as I enjoyed the creepy seance shenanigans, all I wanted was to know what was in that hole 🤣
Character-wise, I was a bit indifferent towards the FMC. I didn't dislike her, but I did find myself wondering 'why is she doing that?' at times. Her supporting cast are all a bit shady and hiding lots of things, but nothing they eventually revealed really landed too heavily with me.
This dark historical mystery was written beautifully and I think I am going to have to come back to it in the new year for a second read. I've been in a bit of a general funk with reading this month so I'm not sure if I'm in the best place to be entirely fair in my assessment here.
So so many tropes and elements to love in this book, but it needed something to bring it all together a little better for me. Well worth a read though. I'd be interested to know what others think of it.
I genuinely did like it overall.

The Night hag is a gothic mystery set in Scotland in 1866. Lil was involved with Spiritualism as her mother who is a Spiritualist. But she escaped from it and wants to leave it all behind, so she takes a job as an assistant to a couple who are archaeologists. But at night she has nightmare of a supernatural being (the night hag) and thinks she is losing her mind. So, she confides in Doctor Lachlan.
This is a gothic Victorian mystery that I usually love but for me personally I just couldn’t connect to this story, I am not saying this is a bad book. It is very descriptive and you can tell that the author has done her research well. I just found it quite slow. It just wasn’t for me personally. 3 stars from me.

Some books deserve to be read in the wee dark hours by a crackling fire and burning candles. If you've got rain outside and a hot chocolate or red wine, even better - but do read it.
A slow burner, but all the better for it; The Night Hag is set in 19th Century Scotland and introduces us to Lil, a rationale led archeaologist who is plagued by night terrors and a family tree rooted in the esoteric.
Mysterious doctors, science versus superstition and an inner battle as to who Lil is and who she wants to be - this is a chunky, but delicious undertaking of an historical mystery. If you can read it in Autumn and Winter - please do; but definitely read it - it's a joy.

If my second read by Hester Musson tells me anything, it's that you don't go into them expecting light, airy and easy to read that's for sure. Complex, multi dimensional, and dominant characters make for a twisty, and unpredictable ride.
I don't particularly like where I'm constantly told outright what I should be making of a character, or a sentence or a scene leaving me no room to think for myself. Absolutely no chance of that happening in this!
The chapters are long and the writing is deep so definitely one to read with no distractions around (for me anyway) and the second half really came in on its own.
The ending....mmm hmm, I was a fan.

I’m afraid this book didn’t engage me at all. The writing is at times beautiful but a little over descriptive for me. The overuse of metaphor and suggestion meant that I often struggled with meaning. Sometime it pays to just get to the point. I didn’t really connect with any of the characters, and I found that there was not enough plot to pull the story along, particularly with large chunks of the main character’s backstory told in letters that didn’t really add to the present day story, but confused and interrupted it. An interesting idea though.

Hester Musson has done it again and delivered a delicious, brutal slice of gothic brilliance. I adored this, she truly layers information so subtly and exquisitely where the most innocuous details pile up to devastate in their reveal. Also a new favourite quote:
“There is a power in writing, I believe. It may not summon spirits, but it can throw a light on the shadows of the mind.”
“There is a power in writing, I believe. It may not summon spirits, but it can throw a light on the shadows of the mind.”

This started with so much intrigue and the letters were addictive to see the relationship build. By the end, I felt it drifted slightly and I lost interest the more the book went on. Lots of potential but not the best execution.

Set in Scotland in 1886 with Gothic undertones and archaeological digs, Lil is an archaeologist plagued by the nightmare of The Hag and haunted by her Mothers legacy as a famous medium. I found this a quite slow read but I persevered and quite enjoyed the story .Thankyou to NetGalley for my ARC
Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
It took me a while to settle into this but once I did, I couldn't put it down. This is my first novel by Hester Musson and I found it to be a gripping, atmospheric and engaging read. The letters between Lil and Dr Lachlan added to the overall tension that was building in the book.
The plot is engaging and contains unsettling elements. The writing is beautifully descriptive, some of the twists were predictable but I found the ending satisfying and felt well-suited to the story.

I really enjoyed this atmospheric gothic novel. The sense of foreboding and tension built very quickly as we followed Lil’s story. It’s a story full of folklore, mysticism and superstitions, with a great headstrong female protagonist in Lil. It was a real page turner and had me on the edge of my seat throughout. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for more from Hester.
