The Hermit Next Door
Kevin Hearne, author of the acclaimed Iron Druid Chronicles, returns with an otherworldly new novella! Newly widowed and trying to cope with her grief, Winnie Mae Chisholm moves from Tennessee with her teenage son, Pax, to Oregon, hoping the change will let them both heal and move on. She's warned when buying their new home that the next door neighbor, Mr. Fisher, is a famous recluse and no one has seen him in years, but that's fine with her--she's looking for quiet. She's not going to get it, however, because when Pax meets the neighbor, he discovers that the reason Mr. Fisher hides from the world is that he isn't actually from this world. He's been stranded for decades and he's trying to get home, and he could really use some help. Abruptly part of the best-kept secret on the planet, Winnie Mae and Pax have to protect Mr. Fisher from a nosy neighbor who would ruin his work and doom him to die among aliens, but they also have to ask themselves: How far would they go to escape their grief? Would another world be far enough?

Heartwarming and very, very unusual. I don't know exactly what I was expecting from this novella, but it wasn't this. Not that that's a bad thing – it's just a very different read from The Iron Druid Chronicles, which is my only other experience with Kevin Hearne's writing. This is much more whimsical and lighthearted and way less violent … although, sadly, there are no telepathic Irish Wolfhounds in this one.
But, yeah, Mr. Fisher is totally awesome and adorable and I want him as my neighbor, like, immediately.
I don't even know how to review this book properly without spoiling things, but it's everything you're thinking it is from the Goodreads blurb and yet so much more.
My only complaint is that I wish it were longer – I would have loved a full-length novel (or even a slightly longer novella) about Mr. Fisher and Winnie Mae and Pax. And also, Kevin Hearne, in the unlikely event you're reading this and ever plan to come out with a sequel, it could totally use an Irish Wolfhound or two.
4.55 stars, rounded up.

After a family tragedy, Winnie Mae and her teenage son Pax move from Tennessee to Oregon to start anew. They discover a much talked about mysterious neighbor.
Kevin Hearne has quite the imagination! The Hermit Next Door was an original and entertaining short story. It’s sci-fi and fantasy but also touches on current issues, such as climate and prevailing attitudes. Made me wonder what I would do in a similar situation.

The Hermit Next Door
Kevin Hearne
reviewed by Lou Jacobs
readersremains.com | Goodreads
An otherworldly mystery novella with a distinct element of the fantastic, as you would expect from the author of the highly acclaimed Iron Druid Chronicles series. Winnie Mae Chisholm is overcome with grief after her husband Benny’s accidental death.
With her insurance settlement, she buys a house in rural Oregon, seeking serenity and a drastic change in lifestyle. She yearns for peace, tranquility, and clean air, away from pollution and noise.
Mae desires a place on a river where she can see the stars at night without a haze and hear birds chirping instead of traffic noise and overhead airplanes. She drags her teenage son, Pax, virtually kicking and screaming from his everyday comforts in Tennessee. Their new home is in a small gated community of ten homes, with her backyard ending at the shore of the slow-moving Willamette River. The realtor assures her of the community’s quiet nature. The neighbor on one side is a retired couple, there only seasonally, while the other neighbor is a “famous” recluse not seen in years. He routinely gives large sums to local charities but never leaves his house, having everything delivered. He doesn’t even own a car and apparently lives off the royalties from patents of “some type of energy generation system.”
Pax is in a fight before noon on his first day! He has never been in a fight in his whole life.
He informs Mae that several boys mocked his accent, called him a “racist redneck,” and suggested his mother was probably his sister. He forlornly retires to the backyard. Shortly afterward, he thanks his mom for choosing this wonderful place, stating matter-of-factly that he has met their neighbor and he is the “coolest person on this planet.” Mae is astounded! Pax explains that the neighbor is a hermit for a reason: “he’s really different.” They’re going to hang out tomorrow!
Kevin Hearne proves to be a masterful storyteller as he weaves a fantastical, world-building narrative with colorful characters, not all of this world. With fun and charm, he comments on humanity’s treatment of differences. How will Winnie Mae and Pax come to the rescue of this mysterious neighbor? And what will be the limits of their endeavors to hide his secrets and motivations?
Thanks to NetGalley and Subterranean Press for providing an Uncorrected Proof in exchange for an honest review. I gobbled up this gem in one sitting and look forward to Hearne’s next offering.

I was trying to decide whether to continue with Kevin Herne's Iron Druid series ( I enjoyed 'Hounded' but the next two didn't do much for me) when I stumbled across his 2024 novella, 'The Hermit Next Door'.
I was intrigued by the premise and hooked by Annalee Scott's narration on the audiobook sample. I put my other books aside and spent a pleasant afternoon listening to the novella.
I liked Winnie Mae Chisholm's sense of humour, which shone through even as she dealt with her grief over her husband’s death. Her relationship with her teenage son felt positive, pragmatic and believable. I enjoyed watching her deal with an intrusive neighbour and an overbearing school principal with steel beneath her Southern charm. I admired her refusal to be cowed when the people around her used redneck stereotypes to judge her and her son.
The initial encounter with the reclusive neighbour next door was very well done. I liked how, once Winnie Mae overcame the shock of discovering Mr Fisher's true identity, she remained focused on practical questions, the answers to which would protect her and her son.
I was disappointed by the ending. The final transition felt rushed and over-simplified. It was like moving from a nuanced portrait to a roughed-out sketch. The ideas were fine, but the delivery was threadbare.
Even so, it was an entertaining read. It reminded me how much I enjoyed Kevin Hearne's humour. I think I'll give his short story collection, 'Oberon’s Bathtime Stories' (2025) a try.

Widow Winnie Mae Chisholm moves from Tennessee with her teenage son, Pax, to Oregon, hoping the change will allow them to heal. When Winnie buys their lakefront property, the realtor warns her about her recluse neighbor Mr. Fisher, and the elderly woman next door who travels frequently. This is exactly what Winnie Mae wants… peace and quiet. Hint… that isn’t exactly what she gets.
I loved the tale Mr. Hearne delivered and hope we get more. As with all of Hearne’s works, I went into this one completely blind with no expectations. Pax is glum about the move until he returns from the backyard, all excited about having met the neighbor. That’s right, that neighbor, Mr. Fisher. Pax seeks permission to help him with a project. Being an exemplary mother, Winnie insists on meeting Mr. Fisher and the tale that unfolds was simply brilliant.
Mr. Fisher is from another world and has been secretly working towards building a vessel to take him home. I loved the story Hearne created from where Mr. Fisher is from to the crazy neighbor across the street. The story, while whole, wasn’t nearly long enough. The author does a great job of giving us a complete story, but also kicked the door wide open for more tales. I am hoping that he and Subterranean Press bring us more and soon.
Admittedly, it was odd not having a book narrated by Luke Daniels. However, with a female protagonist, it made sense to select a female narrator. Be assured that Mr. Hearne made a spiffy choice. Annalee Scott was fantastic. She captured both the characters and tone of the tale, bringing everything to life.
The Hermit Next Door is the PERFECT audio for a family road trip or flight at just under three hours.

The political commentary is too intrusive and screws up what could have been a fun story.

I'm a big fan of the novella as a format. I think it provides the perfect blend of detail and forced brevity, such that it keeps an author on track to tell a crisp tale with enough characterization to keep me engaged but no room for meandering. Don't get me wrong, I love a big long epic story also - but I enjoy a novella every now and then as a palate cleanser, offering as it does a glimpse into a new world that doesn't require a massive commitment.
I enjoy the storytelling style of Kevin Hearne, and think that this story offers his trademark snark and humor in an encapsulated universe that allowed him to play with language and concepts in a way that was fun and funny and surprisingly insightful. Too often I think alien creature stories feel compelled to work very hard to point out shortcomings of humanity. The story is much more playful than that, while no less meaningful and it's underlying messaging.
I also like that it had a happy ending. All too often it seems as though authors feel compelled to keep tragedy upon tragedy onto their poor characters, as though serious messaging required death and destruction. It doesn't, and Hearne proves that here. There's a lot more going on below the surface in this little tale, much as there is in the eponymous house next door, and I found it a delightful read!

Ja, das hat Spaß gemacht. :-)
Die Ich-Erzählerin zieht nach dem Tod ihres Mannes und Vaters ihres Sohnes Pax um. Pax (15 J.) hadert mit dem Umzug, zumal er in der Schule wegen seines Südstaaten-Akzents und als "Redneck" gemobbt wird.
Pax' Meinung zu dem Umzug ändert sich, als er den "Hermit next door" kennenlernt, der sich alles nur liefern lässt und den (mit Ausnahme des früheren Besitzers des Hauses, in dem die beiden Hauptfiguren nun wohnen) nie jemand zu Gesicht bekommen hat.
"He's a hermit for a reason!", betont Pax, aber die Mutter will den Nachbarn, M. Fisher, kennenlernen, bevor sie ihren Sohn Zeit mit ihm verbringen lässt.
M. Fisher ist nicht ganz, was ich erwartet habe (ich habe natürlich ein Alien erwartet), aber sowas ähnliches. Es war ein großer Spaß. Wenn man SF kennt, erwartet einen natürlich nichts bahnbrechend Neues, aber, Hand aufs Herz: Wie viel davon gibt es denn in dem Genre wirklich?
Die Figuren sind toll, liebenswert, authentisch, in aller Kürze gut ausgeleuchtet, bis hin zu der neugierigen Nachbarin Sarah, die ich mir ein wenig als eine Mischung zwischen Else Kling und einer typischen Soccer Mum vorstelle.
Einiges geht aufgrund der Kürze vielleicht zu schnell. Da ich mich aber sonst gern darüber beschwere, dass Autor:innen alles auswalzen und ich gelangweilt quer lese, beschwere ich mich nicht.
Ich hatte das Hörbuch, da Print aus den USA zu bestellen oft so lange dauert und ich kein Ebook gefunden hatte: Also, auch großartig vorgelesen!

The story centres around a widow and her teenage son who move to a new town, forging an unexpected bond with their reclusive neighbour.
The novella doesn't aim to be complex but rather a heartwarming story of healing and grief, wrapped up in a soft sci fi blanket.
It’s almost too cute for my liking and I was holding out for an unforeseen twist at the end but nope, it stayed cute and uncomplicated.

This story was told in first person by Winne Mae. After the death of her husband, Winnie Mae moves with her son Pax from Tennessee to Oregon. Pax is not excited about the move. He understands why his mom wants to move and isn’t against it, but he’s angry about his father’s death and doesn’t want to live in a place so different from what he’s used to and where he thinks others will find him offensive just because of his accent.
Winnie Mae runs an online yoga studio and is looking for a quiet place to make running her business less of a hassle. Something without dogs barking, loud lawnmowers and other sudden noises that might interfere with her creating a quiet, peaceful and natural environment for her yoga videos. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work for Pax until he meets their neighbor, Mr. Fisher. The realtor described him as a famous recluse and that no one had seen him for years. The reality of Mr. Fisher is completely unexpected. He is not of this world, and I, just like Winnie Mae and Pax, became wrapped up in his project of trying to get back home.
I found this story to be very creative. I really enjoyed the characters, which are limited in this short story to primarily Winnie Mae, Pax, Mr. Fisher and a nosy neighbor. Winnie Mae was clearly running from her memories, and I would have enjoyed seeing a little more character growth on her part before the events wrapped up in this story. I’m not sure I liked the ending. I had a few questions and while it ended on a hopeful tone, I found the overall feel of the ending to be quite the opposite. It left me with the feeling of hopelessness about the current state of our world.

As a long-time fan of Kevin Hearne and his previous series of books, I'm always excited to see where his WACKY brain will take me when he tries something outside of his "Norm" and I must say The Hermit Next Door didn't disappoint!
I was impressed by how much world building could be packed into 2.5 hours. The story and characters left me wanting more! At one point as i was walking and listening to the story i thought to myself i hope there is another book to continue the story! LOL
Great job Kevin

A fast-paced, well written novella. Hearne does a great job of taking common tropes and bending them at strange angles to ensure you're reading something you've never *quite* read before. A quick and entertaining read.

Thank you Netgalley for the advance copy.
When I think about Kevin Hearne's writing, I think about the elaborate world-building of the Seven Kennings series, or the characters that populate the Iron Druid books. The Hermit Next Door is unlike either of those series. It's a stand-alone novella set in our world, in our time. Winnie Mae Chisholm and her son Pax are grieving the loss of their husband / father, fleeing memories. The "hermit" offers them the ultimate flight. the novella feels somewhat like a fable, contrasting our world ( and what we've done to it) to the parallel world of the hermit. I'm still digesting how I feel about the choices made by the characters in the end. I can safely say that this novella will occupy a permanent space in your brain.

I picked this back up after starting it before we left on vacation because I really wanted to review a book I read while we were away – and I will – but Kevin Hearne’s Candle & Crow won’t be out until October 1 and it’s just too soon to post that now – no matter how much I want to.
But I was still in the mood for his style, and, well, even the audiobook for The Hermit Next Door is blissfully short. I’m also still a bit jet-lagged, and the result is the review you are about to read.
The idea of this story has been done before – that the recluse next door is either really creepy, from REALLY far away or a bit of both. What made this a bit different was the way that Winnie Mae Chisholm and her son Pax came to this little bend in the Willamette River and not just what they found there.
The story begins as an escape – and Winnie Mae and Pax just keep right on escaping – getting themselves farther away than the ever imagined from the tragic death of Winnie Mae’s husband and Pax’s dad, Benny Chisholm, back home in Tennessee.
Too many memories, and too many grief casseroles drove them out of their former home. The settlement money from the accident and the sale of their previous house got them to Oregon.
At first, nobody’s happy. Winnie Mae because happiness is the last thing she expects to find again, and Pax because he’s still grieving, he wasn’t given any choice in the matter, and he’s a teenager. Which of those three things is at the biggest weight on his heart and soul changes every day but they’re all part of it, all the time, and the situation isn’t looking like it’s going to get any better any time soon.
Because grief doesn’t – and neither does being a teenager.
The house is lovely, the river is quiet and peaceful, and the neighbors are, honestly, a lot. Winnie Mae can identify the types, knows just what she has to do to give her invasive, intrusive, gossipy across the street neighbor just enough and no more to not think she and Pax are TOO weird while still getting them to leave the Chisholms as alone as the woman’s nature is capable of managing.
But the situation changes entirely and completely – actually, all the situations take a sharp left turn into the weird, wacky and wonderful – when Pax meets their reclusive next-door-neighbor Mr. Fisher.
Who is, quite literally, out of this world. And wants to get back home – if he can just get a little bit of help from Pax and his very reluctant, somewhat creeped out, not quite totally losing her shit, depressed and disaster-projecting and spiraling mother, Winnie Mae.
A woman who, in spite of having lost pretty much all of her faith in things ever getting better ever again is going to have to take an absolutely ginormous leap of faith over the chasm of her disbelief in order to keep her son safe and maybe, just maybe, find a bit of peace and even happiness in a place she never once imagined she could even imagine.
Escape Rating B: I finished this book with a lot more mixed feelings than I expected. I thought I would just love it (spoiler: I did love Candle & Crow). In the end, I did like The Hermit Next Door, but I middled in directions I just didn’t expect to go.
Your reading and listening mileage may both vary.
The idea of Mr. Fisher and his journey reminded me a LOT of Simon R. Green’s Ishmael Jones series, and that was not a place I expected to be at all. Ishmael Jones is more creepy horror adjacent mixed with twisted country house mystery, while Mr. Fisher is more like an E.T. who needs to phone home, but they both start from the same place, a being from another world who is stranded on this Earth and is having a difficult time going home and has to make some equally difficult decisions about dealing with that particular dilemma.
Howsomever, Ishmael Jones at least looks human. Mr. Fisher is a giant otter from an Earth that took a different evolutionary path down the “trousers of time”.
One of the things that I personally found a bit off-putting was that the narrator for the audiobook, Annalee Scott, sounds an awful lot like Khristine Hvam, the narrator for the Junkyard Cats series. And that was a bit of a mind-screw, as Shining Smith in the Junkyard Cats series kicks ass and takes names with wild abandon and lots of gunfire, while Winnie Mae Chisholm goes into panicked disaster spirals at every turn. The characters are just VERY far apart but the similarity in the narrators’ voices made my mind try to equate them which simply isn’t possible. At all. Ever. In ANY way.
Very much on my other hand – or ear – I did love the SFnal ending. I was fully expecting it, but that doesn’t mean it still wasn’t fun. I’ll admit that I particularly liked the idea that the nosey neighbor might have gotten exactly what she deserved. She certainly had the option to save herself, but I can’t help but get a bit of glee out of the thought that she probably couldn’t resist doing what she was explicitly told not to. We’ll never know but a girl can dream.
What made the story work in the end was that Winnie Mae and Pax find happiness in a way that they were not expecting – and in a way that doesn’t attempt to pass over or by the depths of the grief that sent them on this journey in the first place.
There were also a couple of references to some interesting SFnal stories that shouldn’t have gotten near this one but did anyway in surprising and delightful ways. There’s just a touch of John Scalzi’s Kaiju Preservation Society that I was not expecting at all, as well as a hint of Edward Ashton’s Fourth Consort that goes in a completely different direction from The Hermit Next Door but has some unexpected but fascinating similarities along its way.

Which of those three things is at the biggest weight on his heart and soul changes every day but they’re all part of it, all the time, and the situation isn’t looking like it’s going to get any better any time soon.
Because grief doesn’t – and neither does being a teenager.
The house is lovely, the river is quiet and peaceful, and the neighbors are, honestly, a lot. Winnie Mae can identify the types, knows just what she has to do to give her invasive, intrusive, gossipy across the street neighbor just enough and no more to not think she and Pax are TOO weird while still getting them to leave the Chisholms as alone as the woman’s nature is capable of managing.
But the situation changes entirely and completely – actually, all the situations take a sharp left turn into the weird, wacky and wonderful – when Pax meets their reclusive next-door-neighbor Mr. Fisher.
Who is, quite literally, out of this world. And wants to get back home – if he can just get a little bit of help from Pax and his very reluctant, somewhat creeped out, not quite totally losing her shit, depressed and disaster-projecting and spiraling mother, Winnie Mae.
A woman who, in spite of having lost pretty much all of her faith in things ever getting better ever again is going to have to take an absolutely ginormous leap of faith over the chasm of her disbelief in order to keep her son safe and maybe, just maybe, find a bit of peace and even happiness in a place she never once imagined she could even imagine.
Escape Rating B: I finished this book with a lot more mixed feelings than I expected. I thought I would just love it (spoiler: I did love Candle & Crow). In the end, I did like The Hermit Next Door, but I middled in directions I just didn’t expect to go.
Your reading and listening mileage may both vary.
The idea of Mr. Fisher and his journey reminded me a LOT of Simon R. Green’s Ishmael Jones series, and that was not a place I expected to be at all. Ishmael Jones is more creepy horror adjacent mixed with twisted country house mystery, while Mr. Fisher is more like an E.T. who needs to phone home, but they both start from the same place, a being from another world who is stranded on this Earth and is having a difficult time going home and has to make some equally difficult decisions about dealing with that particular dilemma.
Howsomever, Ishmael Jones at least looks human. Mr. Fisher is a giant otter from an Earth that took a different evolutionary path down the “trousers of time”.
One of the things that I personally found a bit off-putting was that the narrator for the audiobook, Annalee Scott, sounds an awful lot like Khristine Hvam, the narrator for the Junkyard Cats series. And that was a bit of a mind-screw, as Shining Smith in the Junkyard Cats series kicks ass and takes names with wild abandon and lots of gunfire, while Winnie Mae Chisholm goes into panicked disaster spirals at every turn. The characters are just VERY far apart but the similarity in the narrators’ voices made my mind try to equate them which simply isn’t possible. At all. Ever. In ANY way.
Very much on my other hand – or ear – I did love the SFnal ending. I was fully expecting it, but that doesn’t mean it still wasn’t fun. I’ll admit that I particularly liked the idea that the nosey neighbor might have gotten exactly what she deserved. She certainly had the option to save herself, but I can’t help but get a bit of glee out of the thought that she probably couldn’t resist doing what she was explicitly told not to. We’ll never know but a girl can dream.
What made the story work in the end was that Winnie Mae and Pax find happiness in a way that they were not expecting – and in a way that doesn’t attempt to pass over or by the depths of the grief that sent them on this journey in the first place.
There were also a couple of references to some interesting SFnal stories that shouldn’t have gotten near this one but did anyway in surprising and delightful ways. There’s just a touch of John Scalzi’s Kaiju Preservation Society that I was not expecting at all, as well as a hint of Edward Ashton’s Fourth Consort that goes in a completely different direction from The Hermit Next Door but has some unexpected but fascinating similarities along its way.

Recently widowed Winnie moves to the PNW with her son and buys a house next to a reclusive old neighbor, she doesn’t realize just what she had gotten herself and her son into. Pax finds out that the neighbor no one sees is an alien. The previous owner of the house had a secret tunnel and did work for Mr. Fisher. Mr. Fisher has been working on a way to get back home and he is so close to being able to slide back into the parallel world he is from. New neighbors are an unknown quantity, and he still has to avoid being caught out by the nosy neighbor across the street.
I enjoyed this one and would like to see more about Mr Fisher and the world he comes from.

This is a delightful fantasy, a fun read. Winnie Mae is newly widowed and has moved across country with her son from Tennessee to Oregon. She has bought a house along a river seeking peace and privacy to continue her Yoga video business in a quieter surrounding. Her son is not happy with the move. He is bullied on the first day of school for his Tennessee accent and the children's preconceived stereotype of someone from the South. Winnie tells him to go out by the river and relax. He comes in excited because he has met the mysterious next door neighbor that no-one has ever seen. This begins an adventure that is quite unusual.
This is an imaginative story by an author that is the best at imaginative stories!

I highly recommend this fun, weird little novella! A perfect blend of scifi and eco-fiction, I read this in one sitting and will be reflecting on it for a while.
I would say to go into this one as blind as possible. Don’t even read the whole synopsis. It’s 96 pages of weird little twists - just trust my judgement on this one and preorder. I was blown away by the character development and world building packed into such a short book, and can’t wait to check out more from this author!

I received a digital ARC via Netgalley, though all thoughts are my own.
I loved this wild ride of a novella, and I'm so glad that the ending did not turn into a horror!
I am so curious to learn more about Mr. Fisher's world, and I love how his name matches who he is.
Though this book is just under one hundred pages, it's a very engaging story with a mix of mystery, humor, surprises, sci-fi and ends in a way that there could potentially be another story (which I hope there is!).
I highly recommend this quick read!

Loved this, loved this, loved this and I want more. The worldbuilding is great, as well as the characters. Whole story in a novella setting, but would love this in full novel form. Maybe a start to a new series. At any rate I believe I've read everything Kevin Hearne has written and this goes along with his usual expect the unexpected in his stories. Simply fun and imaginative. Thanks to NetGalley and publishers for this fantastic read!

This eARC was provided through Netgalley.com and I am giving an unbiased review.
Oddly enough, I found this little tale quite interesting. It is easy to read, and if you have an active imagination (I'm sure most of us readers do) you'll read through this tale fairly quickly. Not sure if this is going to turn into a possible series, or if it is just a stand-alone little story, but overall was enjoyable.

A delightful novella about a woman and her teenage son adjusting to life after her husband dies. They end moving across the country and meeting an other worldly neighbor. Can’t really say much more without giving away the story of this novella. Quirky and a lot of fun, but what else would you expect from Kevin Hearne?
Looking forward to more adventures with these characters!

The Hermit Next Door is a witty escapist fantasy novella by Kevin Hearne. Due out 31st July 2024 in a signed limited edition from Subterranean Press, it's 96 pages and will be available in signed hardcover, audio, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout.
This is an engaging and fun story from page 1. Newly widowed Winnie Mae and her teenage son move from Tennessee to Oregon and try to find their feet in a new neighborhood, navigating a new school, new neighbors, and a seismic shift in culture. There's more to the reclusive Mr. Fisher next door than they were expecting.
Fans of the author's oeuvre will already be familiar with his sly and irreverent send ups of everything from talking dogs to life in suburbia (complete with "Karens"). This is more of that, along with a transportive escapist wish fulfillment fantasy and a healthy dash of Scooby Doo adventures thrown in for good measure.
Four and a half stars. Hearne can write. He can plot. It's a short but engaging read with a great denouement and resolution.

To be clear, this is a four-and-a-half-star review.
The Hermit Next Door finds Kevin Hearne play with the "boy and his alien" skiffy (science fiction) trope (think "E.T. The Extraterrestrial" as the most famous example).
When Winnie Mae Chisholm (the recently widowed mother of the teenaged son, Pax) moves to a quiet town in Oregon, she sets in motion a unique situation for her less than thrilled son - until he stumbles onto the secret behind the town hermit, Mr. Fisher.
Mr. Fisher is not human nor is he happy about his time here (he's spent decades trying to get home). Before long, Winnie Mae and Pax are persuaded to help Mr. Fisher - and to keep a nosy neighbor, Sarah Bainbridge, from discovering him.
Hearne - who has achieved a rare feat of originality in his epic fantasy trilogy, The Seven Kennings, takes a couple of basic ideas (the aforementioned "boy and his alien" and "nosy neighbor" tropes) and given them a fresh new spin - Mrs. Bainbridge, for example, gets far closer to the truth than Gladys Kravitz ("Bewitched") or Mrs. Brown ("My Favorite Martian") ever did.
In this lovely, playful novella, Hearne takes on a number of ideas (including, the main tropes aside, climate change, for one) without hammering them home. His writing is just as concise/precise as it needs to be to tell the story.
The Hermit Next Door is a terrific evening's read (even at my painfully show reading speed).
I can't wait to see what Mr. Hearne does next.

This was a cute and entertaining novella about a mom, her teenaged son, and the unusual new neighbor they meet after their move across the country from Tennessee to Oregon. Winnie Mae is a recent widow and she’s looking for a fresh start in a place where there are no overwhelming memories or constant reminders of the love she lost. Her son, Pax, is less enthusiastic about the move. He understands her need for a change but wishes it were closer to home and not in a place that is so completely different from what he’s known all of his life.
Their new life in Oregon gets off to a rocky start until Pax befriends their new neighbor, a recluse who none of the neighbors have ever seen or met face to face. Mr. Fisher is an interesting character with secrets of his own who will change Winnie Mae and Pax’s lives in ways they could never have imagined.
I don’t read many novellas and this was my first time reading Kevin Hearne so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I requested this one, but I was not disappointed. It’s a fun and creative story that keeps you entertained even when touching on more serious issues.
I loved the overall idea of the story. I only wish that it had been a little longer. The second half of the story and the resolution move pretty quickly and the end almost feels unfinished. Ultimately, it did leave me wanting more of Winnie Mae, Pax, and Mr. Fisher.
Thanks NetGally and Subterranean Press for the advanced copy.

ARC provided by Subterranean Press via NetGalley for an honest review.
This is probably going to be a very short review as it will be hard to talk about this novella without giving anything away. I adored this fun and wonderful look at how humanity treats others who are different and how we are treating our planet. This book has everything in such a small package, likable characters, wonderful world building and some fun yet weird little twists.
The story is told fully through the voice of Winnie Mae. She is so likable that I would love to have her as my neighbor. She is trying her best to do what is right for herself and her son, even though it means moving across the country into the unknown. I also liked her son Pax, who as a teenager was able to accept Mr Fisher easier than adults would. He was a great kid who knew how to stand up for himself, even when it got him into trouble.
I won’t say much about Mr Fisher, as that would spoil the whole story for you. But he was the best alien this earth could have been invaded by. I loved learning about his home and would love to visit there.
The story is short, only 98 pages, but it does pack quite a bit into it. Not only are the characters well developed, but the plot is full of fun and weird little twists. This is one you should really go into without knowing much, so I won’t say more, except that you really should go out and read it.
I highly recommend this sweet and fun novella, especially if you like humor and adorable characters. Fans of the author will be thrilled and I think this will attract new fans to his other books.

I really don't know how to review this book without revealing the magic. I went into it without having read much about the plot, and I'm so incredibly thankful I did. The reveals are too good to be spoiled.
Winnie Mae and her teenage son, Pax, move from Tennessee to rural Oregon in a haze of grief after the death of their beloved third family member. They manage to find the perfect home next to a calm river that feels like the right amount of peace needed. When they move in, they learn about their mysterious neighbor, who hasn't been seen in years, yet still functions with plenty of deliveries and donations across the city. Pax quickly befriends the hermit next door, and thus begins a journey that I don't even really know how to describe.
This book is magic. I am also a huge fan of movies and it very much gave me "Safety Not Guaranteed" vibes. The story is told from Winnie Mae's point of view, which gives us an insight into life as a parent who worries about what the future of the world holds for their child. There is a heavy theme on environmentalism and sustainability.
Overall, the novella feels like a brief trip in a magical world that will leave you feeling a little giddy and hopeful that maybe we can just figure it out one day.

This is such a different read from what I'm used to reading by Kevin Hearne (I've read some of the Iron Druid universe, although I skipped a lot of Iron Druid Chronicles, but ended up skipping over much of it because of my love of the Ink & Sigil trilogy. I know I need to go back and read more though!).
Anyway, I spent so much time thinking that I didn't want to enter a new world- only to find that this book is in our world... and is a novella! This is a short read, and it was a refreshing step away from some of the longer fantasy books and series I get into. There are two things I really loved about this book:
1. Being (back) in Oregon. Reading about it made me wish I was there again.
2. Actually, if I say what it is, then I should mark the review as a spoiler. I want to meet the Hermit Next Door.
At less than 100 pages, the plot is worth it for the randomness. Thank you Netgalley for an e-arc copy of this book that only took one extra year for me to read, and to Subterranean Press.
