Review: The Radleys by Matt Haig. The Radleys () is a suburban vampire story, describing a repressed family of abstainers. Peter and Helen Radley gave up blood drinking before the birth of their two, now teenage, children, Clara and Rowan, who have no idea that they are vampires. Life for the Radleys is self-conscious, boring, and often. Matt Haig is the number one bestselling author of Reasons to Stay Alive, Notes on a Nervous Planet and six highly acclaimed novels for adults, including How to Stop Time, The Humans and The Radleys. His latest novel is The Midnight Library and the audiobook edition is read by Carey Mulligan. The Radleys: When Radleys' teenage daughter Clara gets attacked, she and her brother Rowan discover why they can't sleep, can't eat garlic without asphyxiating and have a constant need for Factor As their status as vampires is revealed, they attempt to keep the lid on the situation as it spirals out of control.

The Radleys has been optioned by the wonderful Genesius Pictures. There are numerous international editions of The Radleys, please see here for the list. And if you fancy it, read the first chapter here. The Radleys is, first and foremost, the remarkable story of a family, born of denial and deceit, learning to tell the truth. That the family in question happens to be Undead is secondary, because in Matt Haig’s masterly hands vampirism is much more than blood lust. It is a yearning for love, truth, passion, and authentic connection. The Radleys are an everyday family who juggle dysfunctional lives. Except, as Peter and Helen Radley know but their children have yet to find out, the Radleys happen to be a family of abstaining vampires. When one night Clara finds herself driven to commit a bloodthirsty act, her parents decide to explain a few things.
