Janina Matthewson is originally from Christchurch, New Zealand and now lives in London. She trained as an actress and also studied English, history and linguistics. Her first novel, Of Things Gones Astray, was published by The Friday Project in 2015. She co-authored (with Jeffrey Craner) her latest novel, You Feel It Below The Ribs, which was published by HarperCollins US in November 2021. She also co-writes the cult-hit podcast, Within the Wires, with season nine coming soon. She has also written for Murmurs, The Cipher, and Passenger List.

The Horses is a quiet and tender apocalyptic story, as well as a propulsive mystery, at once gentle and formidable. I spent every minute of reading it in awe of its gifts. And when the horses arrive? A moment of pure magic that brought tears to my eyes.
