A couple on a remote hiking trip encounter their doppelgängers just as they're preparing to set up camp for the night. What begins as a bizarre chance meeting soon becomes a chilling test of how well they truly know each other.

At just 176 pages with short chapters, this was a quick and bingeable read. It was easy to follow what was going through Elise and Logan's minds as they tried to make sense of everything. After finishing the first book in the sequence with so many unanswered questions, I mentally prepared myself for more ambiguity, though I was definitely hoping for at least a few answers. Sigh... here I am, still left with plenty of questions after that WTF ending, but I do think I was a little less confused this time around, probably because I paid close attention to details.

Although this takes place in the same universe as The Extra and is labeled The Outsiders Sequence #2, it's a standalone novella rather than a direct sequel. I'm still hoping the final novella, The Spare, will provide some answers, but at this point, I'm not holding my breath.

Now available! My thanks to Shortwave Publishing via NetGalley for my digital ARC.

This is the second book in The Outsiders Sequence, a series of three standalone novellas. The Other by Annie Neugebauer is a psychological horror story, and honestly it starts off feeling pretty normal… which is probably your first mistake.



The plot follows a group of people who go on a hiking trip out in a remote, isolated area. At first it’s all just nature and walking and that “this is nice but also I’d like Wi-Fi” kind of vibe. Then they come across these “doubles” of themselves out in the woods. And yeah… that’s where everything stops being fun.



Because these aren’t like fun mirror-image twins or anything. They’re wrong. Not in a loud monster way, more like a “why does that look like me but also absolutely not me” kind of way. And once that happens, the whole hiking trip basically falls apart into panic, confusion, and nobody trusting anyone anymore (including themselves, which is always a great sign).



What I liked is how quickly the normal situation turns into chaos without it feeling rushed. It’s not full-on action horror—it’s more like dread just slowly creeping in until you realise everyone is basically one bad decision away from completely losing it. The forest setting makes it worse too, because there’s nowhere to go and no way to pretend everything’s fine.



The characters felt really believable as well. Nobody suddenly becomes a horror movie genius. They react like actual people, which means there’s denial, arguments, panic, and at least one “this must have a logical explanation” moment that aged very badly very quickly.



Annie Neugebauer’s writing is really simple but effective. She doesn’t over-explain anything, which is good because honestly I don’t think an explanation would make this situation better anyway. The less you know, the worse it feels, which is kind of the point.



And the ending… yeah. It doesn’t neatly wrap anything up. It just kind of leaves you sitting there like, “okay… so I’m going to be thinking about that for the next three days.” It’s creepy in a quiet way rather than a big dramatic way, which somehow sticks more.



Overall, I actually really enjoyed it. It’s short, tense, and just deeply uncomfortable in a slow-burn way. I’m really excited for the next book in the series, The Spare, due out next April, even though I feel like it’s probably also going to ruin my peace of mind in some new and creative way.



Thank you NetGalley, Shortwave Publishing, and the author for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

4.5 ⭐ rounded up

You and your partner set out on an outdoor retreat. You meet another couple and share a campsite for the night. You wake up the next morning to find that the other couple looks exactly like you. Same face. Same memories. Same things in your pockets. And now neither of you knows which one is real. Who is the other?

Where The Extra had me reeling, The Other has me absolutely spiraling. Annie Neugebauer is a pro at creating claustrophobic, anxiety-inducing situations. Every time you think you have a gotcha moment, the doppelgangers are one step ahead of you. After all, how can you prove you’re you when they look like you and know everything you do? It’s uncanny valley at its finest, but it’s not just that; it’s the completely inescapable scenarios, where the characters are not just stuck logically and ethically (would you really be able to leave your partner behind if you weren’t 100% sure? And how could you be 100% sure?), they’re also stuck in the middle of nowhere. No cell service, no one around. Just them. And the other.

We need to talk about that ending!!!! I’m deceased!!! The ending of The Extra was a complete cliffhanger, which may work for some people, but I need a conclusion. “Careful what you wish for,” said Annie Neugebauer, and wrote an ending I did NOT see coming. I feel like I should have, but I had no idea where it was going until it was already happening. This ending was completely satisfying and completely unexpected (and completely anxiety-inducing, but what else is new).

This book is mercifully short. I like a short read, but usually for different reasons. By the time you hit the final stretch, your nervous system will be grateful the book isn’t longer.

My only complaint, and the reason I took off half a star, is the pacing of the first half. The synopsis promises doppelgangers and identity crises, and that’s all true, but the confusion around who’s who doesn’t actually start until about halfway through. The setup is fine! The hiking atmosphere is good (I’m learning I really enjoy these camping/hiking settings, or maybe Neugebauer is just that good), and the characters are established well enough. But it’s a long time to spend on something that I already knew was coming. Once the tension starts, the second half flies by.

A big thanks to NetGalley, Annie Neugebauer, and Shortwave Publishing for the ARC!

Held in the same universe and possibly the same woods as The Extra, The Other brings us another creepy tale involving camping and hiking. I would probably not read this if I were going to do either of those things. Which I don’t, so I’m all clear to read this one.

Elise and Logan are making their way to a perfect out of the way camping spot. It is so out of the way that it takes three days to get there, and not many people know about it, so they’re hoping they have it to themselves as they try to repair their marriage. Unfortunately for them, they run into others. And not just anyone but their doppelgängers! Things turn weird, and then they get WEIRD! I was not prepared for that ending.

I liked how this poses the question of if you really know your significant other. As with The Extra, I am left with more questions than answers. BUT the one common theme I did pick up on is the grass…

I don’t think I can wait until next summer for the third one to come out. I need it NOW!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Other is the strong second installment to Annie Neugebauer's The Outsiders Sequence series. Having thoroughly enjoyed book one, The Extra, earlier this year I was excited to immediately read this upon release. Quick note that I probably should up my rating for The Extra retroactively because that book literally became better in my mind with hindsight.

The Other is more focused than The Extra as there's fewer characters to work with. And with that, the details are more personal and juicy. I don't like hiking and camping and these books keep validating me. What's up with this mountain? Will it ever be explained? Should it be explained? Part of me thinks that this should remain vague even with the conclusion of the series.

These are short books and quite addictive in format. Sci-fi horror is an underrated subgenre that Annie masterfully puts to paper with an incredibly fast pace and entertainment factor that made me wish book three is out already!!!

[Sheyla ✎]

After reading the first novella, The Extra, I couldn't wait to read The Other.

Set in the same world as its predecessor, The Other follows Elisa and Logan, a couple hiking in an attempt to reconnect before their marriage completely falls apart. They have been together for many years but have not yet had children, and that might be the thing that finally breaks them.

Elisa and Logan are ready to set up camp when they come across another couple at the site—Bryce and Allison—who look eerily similar to them. They are bewildered by the resemblance, but in the end, they decide to stay the night.

The next morning, chaos ensues.

I’m loving this series, and what a great, truly unexpected finale!

I will be setting aside any other book when the next book in this series comes out.

Cliffhanger: No

The Other was a complete mind-screw!

A couple is on a multi-day hike, nearly ready to make camp for the night when they meet another couple. No big deal, right? And the couple they meet are wearing almost exactly the same clothing and gear as they do. Still no big deal, right? Maybe a little weird, but it’s still all good. Until it’s not. From there, everything goes off the rails and you find yourself thinking what you would do in the same situation.

Novella length is perfect for this story. The tension and dread builds and then maintains that level throughout. I think it must be difficult to accomplish this in a longer tale.

The narrative is related via alternating chapters between Elise and Logan, and this format lends itself to audiobooks beautifully, especially with two talented narrators such as these. Patricia Santamasso and Sean Patrick Hopkins nailed this, with all the concern and confusion involved perfectly reflected in their voices.

I didn’t realize that this was the second in a series until I sat down to write this review. I just went and purchased the audiobook of the first. Annie Neugebauer is a new to me author and I’m excited to read more of her work. Shortwave Media has a lot of good things going on and I’ve had my eye on them for a while.

If you’re a fan of weird, dark, tales this audio is a great place to start. Highly recommended!

concept so terrifying my fiancée and i came up with a plan for how to identify each other if we ever meet our evil doppelgängers. full rtc

[Cristina Neves]

The same woods of "The Extra" novella but it's early Spring.
The chapters alternating between Elise, 32 years-old and Logan, 33 years-old.

They've been together for 15 years, since high school, and decided to make this backpack trip because they don't spend enough time together anymore.
They're are drifting apart and want to discuss some big issues, like having kids, that will affect their future life.

When they arrived the parking lot was empty and they are hiking up the trail for 3 days now, and as they're reaching the campsite to pass the night they see someone ahead in the trail, introducing themselves as Bryce and Allison.
They look so much like them!
Doppelgangers!
Same type of clothes, similar colors, so strange!
Each giving them a different version of how they got there!
Why would they lie?

They agree they could all stay the night in that campsite, with enough space between the tents, but Elise feels uncomfortable, scared, unease.
So they're packing up to leave very early in the morning as silent as they can.
Logan is packing the tent and she has to answer a call of nature.

When she returns she thinks she's hallucinating, having a breakdown, because Bryce looks and talks exactly like Logan and her the same with Allison.
What is happening?
Logan knows who Elise is of course, but Allison creates a diversion and now only each one knows they are the real Elise and the real Logan!

They continue up the trail until they figure it out, both unbalanced, and second guessing everything.
Elise doesn't want to make the wrong decision and leaving Logan behind and Logan doesn't want to make the wrong one too and leave her with Bryce, and even getting hurt.

And when I'm almost 100% sure that the real Logan and the real Elise are the ones that are going out of there, I get gobsmacked by that ending!!!
And an absurd idea comes to me.
What if the real Elise was somehow, at sometime, replaced by the fake one and continued telling her side of the story as if she was the real one?
It sounds crazy, right?

I ended up with so many questions and no answers whatsoever!
Will the third novella in the sequence "The Spare" wrap it up nicely?

Will see what happens then!!

[Debbie H]

4 ⭐️ This short novella really packs a punch! Creepy and atmospheric psychological horror at its best!

Elise and Logan are on a hiking getaway to work on their marriage and discuss their future plans. While on a remote trail they come across another couple Allison and Bryce that resemble them greatly. As hours pass they become their doubles.

This is a frightening scenario as the couple try to figure out who is their real spouse. Told in a simple straightforward manner with alternating chapters of Elise and Logan, the tension builds to the surprise and shocking ending. Part of a trilogy of stand alone novellas, I’ll be reading the first The Extra, and looking for #3 The Spare in 2027.

Thanks to NetGalley and Shortwave Publishers for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

[Cassie]

My mind zooms abruptly out and out and out, and the forest stretches for miles in every direction, and all of it is open to itself, and anything inside it can cross into this space.
We are not alone out here.

In The Other, the second book in Annie Neugebauer’s Outsiders Sequence, we meet Elise and Logan, a couple on a camping trip as a last-ditch effort to reconnect and save their marriage. After a long day of hiking, they’re about to camp for the night when another couple approaches the camp site from the opposite direction. Elise and Logan thought they were the only people on the trail, so they’re surprised to see Bryce and Allison – but what’s even more surprising is how closely the other couple resembles them, down to the clothes they’re wearing.

By the next morning, Bryce and Allison have morphed into exact copies of Logan and Elise – true doppelgängers. What follows is a descent into fear and paranoia as Logan and Elise must figure out who is their true spouse.

The Other is sinister and surreal, disquieting and disorienting, and a thoroughly original take on the theme of how well we truly know the ones we love. It’s genuinely frightening to think about your partner being replaced by a copy – or yourself being replaced, and your partner not realizing it.

The story unfolds with perfect pacing in Logan’s and Elise’s dual POVs, and they react in exactly the ways you’d think real people would; they freak out, they refuse to accept what’s happening, they argue, they try – and fail – to find a logical explanation. It’s so tense and immersive; it really does feel like you’re inside their brains as they try to figure out what to do.

And the ending – it’s going to be divisive, but it unsettled me to my core in a way I’ll be thinking about for a long time. I’m not exactly sure what it meant, but the “WTF”-ness of it is the whole point. Where the ending of The Extra felt a bit like a cop-out, this one felt entirely fitting and deliberate in its lack of answers.

I just have one request of Annie Neugebauer, and that’s for her to PLEASE continue writing these stories even after the third book comes out next year. Something about the chaotic, disturbing nature of this world she’s created scratches my brain in the most pleasant way, and I want more! Thanks to Shortwave Publishing for the early reading opportunity.

[Stacy (Gotham City Librarian)]

This is the second book in a planned trilogy, but it worked as a standalone and was a pretty quick read. I thought the premise was very cool. Anything involving doubles or doppelgängers will always draw my attention.

The writing itself was where I found myself a little disappointed. The language was a bit awkward and the sentences stilted, with strange word choices throughout. I also found the thought processes of the two main characters to be somewhat exhausting. All the questions they were asking themselves absolutely made sense in this situation, but I felt like some more editing would have helped a lot.

There were decent creepy moments and I think this would make a fun horror movie. The relationship dynamics of the couple were believable. The ending didn’t need an explanation for me to be on board, but I’d be lying if I said I fully understood it.

I probably won’t read book 1 or 3, but thank you to NetGalley for this early copy in exchange for an honest review! All opinions are my own.

[Matt]

3.5 ⭐️ rounded up (but barely)

After being together for 15 years, Elise and Logan are experiencing a rut in their marriage.
Logan wants to have children, while Elise knows that she has no desire to be a mother.
They thought that going on a camping trip would give them some quiet alone time to have some serious discussions as to whether they should stay together or not.

Although it wasn’t really planned out this way, I started reading this book the day after I finished the first one, The Extra.
I wasn’t familiar with either of them, but when I discovered the second one on NetGalley and saw how short they were, I decided to read them back-to-back.
With that being said, these are definitely standalone books.

I enjoyed The Extra more than The Other, although The Other had a SOMEWHAT more complete ending.
It still left the reader with several questions, but this didn’t end quite as abruptly as The Extra.

I felt literal tension as I was reading this.
Elise and Logan were put into an unfathomable situation and if I were ever in something similar, I would be livid, frustrated, extremely confused and questioning my own sanity, all at once.

I think that Annie Neugebauer is a great author who has a talent for writing stories that keeps the reader engaged.
I just don’t understand the endings.
If it’s a series where the books pick up where one left off, I’m okay with ambiguous endings, but these books aren’t related aside from having a camping theme where weird things happen.

It says that there will be a third in the series called The Spare, which I’m guessing will probably be released sometime in 2027.

Thanks to Shortwave Publishing and Annie Neugebauer for providing me with an ARC via NetGalley to review.

When you’re going through a reading slump, a good ol’ novella is the solution. And it’s even better when it’s a creepy thriller/horror one!!

@seanpatrickhopkins and his wife @psantomasso both narrate the audiobook and they do a phenomenal job here! You can tell these two work great together! I highly recommend the audiobook.

A married couple goes on a hiking trip and they run into another couple that looks extremely familiar. But then it gets really bizarre. This is one of those books that I can’t really tell you much, especially if you have not read the first book.

Weird and creepy and I high recommend the audiobooks! You don’t have to read the first book to enjoy it, both recommend both.

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Jan Agaton]

ugh it was SO good & riveting until that ending. but I'll definitely still read the third book

[STEPH]

Whoa. This is a complete mind-f*ck. Like, that was unsettling and uncomfortable.

What if you and your partner met your doppelgangers? How would you know the real love of your life? How would you find the truth?

I enjoyed the first installment in the Outsider Sequence series. The thought of fakes, clones, and doppelgangers really brings a different level of fear. I hope the author writes about the origin of these doubles. What is their plan? What is their purpose?

Overall, this is a creepy read. I keep telling people not to venture or hike in unfamiliar places. You either bump into a serial killer, cannibals, or body snatchers. Lol.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advance copy.

[aimee]

hey so what the FUCK was that ending

[Marguerite Turley]

Oh. My. God!!! I just read this in one day and I am shooketh!! I thought the Extra was good, but holy s**t, this one blew that one away! Annie Neugebauer is quickly becoming a new favorite author of mine. This is the story of Elise and Logan who are having marital difficulties and are on a hiking trip to discuss what’s next for them. They run into another couple and some really weird stuff starts happening. The dread, the creep, the frustration I felt reading this!! It was driving me insane, and I loved it so damn much I just couldn’t put this book down! I don’t know how she does it, but Annie has a way of making everything seem off even before the crazy things start. The things this couple discovers about each other after being put into this situation is brilliant. And then that ending!!! I was NOT prepared for that, totally insane twist and I cannot wait for The Spare next year! Thank you so much to Alan and Shortwave books for the digital arc of this incredible book. Releases on June 9, preorder this now!!

[Roman T Teluch]

This book very cleverly exploits the idea of a double or a doppelgänger. A couple meets their doppelgängers in the woods while hiking far from civilization. Over time this leads to a mix-up, man and a woman of the original couple start to loose track who is their true counterpart. We see the dilemma in turn from the viewpoint of each person from the original pair. This results them to start contemplating the possibility that they could unintentionally walk away and live with an impostor.
For me this was suspensful and engaging read, but the ending took me by surprise, I wish it was different, though I don't know how.
I've resolved to read the first book in this Outsiders Sequence Series called "The Extra".

[unstable.books]

The Other further cements Neugebauer's gift for turning the familiar into something quietly and relentlessly terrifying. What begins as a couple's outdoor camping trip quickly curdles into a psychological mind fuck maze when they encounter their exact doubles along a hiking trail. This is an uncanny premise that the novella exploits with precision and escalating dread. Neugebauer helms the premise of ambiguity, thus blurring the boundaries between self and other, between trust and suspicion. The horror here is not loud. It is insidious. Small details become magnified, conversations take on double meanings and every interaction is now a test of intimacy and how well you know someone you love. What happens when that utter certainty is fractured? The tension builds in a way that becomes suffocating as the characters and the reader are forced to question what's real. As a follow-up to The Extra, this installment of The Outsiders Sequence feels that much more deliberate, sharpening its themes of identity and perception. Neugebauer doesn't just unsettle, she lets the unease seep in and take hold. The result is a cerebral, deeply disquieting novella that leaves you wondering just how stable your own sense of reality really is. Thank you as always to Shortwave Publishing for the gifted ARC. The Other drops June 09, 2026! Do yourself a favor and head over to Shortwaves website and preorder it, and order The Extra as well. This series is not to be missed.

[The Morbid Mama ☠︎︎]

First off, huge thank you to @netgalley and @shortwavebooks for the ARC!

Back in February, I read Annie Neugebauer’s novella The Extra. It was a super fun and quick read that left you wondering and questioning everything that was going on. I LOVED it! So when I found out there was a second book and that this was a SERIES!? I requested it immediately!

Just like the last book, The Other was a short read that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was an absolute mindfuck and i could feel MYSELF start to spiral 🤣 and that ending?! WHAT THE HELLY!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING. I’m sorry but I’m going to need 5-7 business days to map out every little detail so I can wrap my head around everything 😵‍💫

[Nicole]

This was soooo creepy / twisted / mind bending! And the ending!??? Loved it.

Highly recommend this series and reading them in order. The third and final installment comes out March 2027 and I already have it preordered!

[Charlie Tombini]

This was a pretty neutral book for me. It wasn't bad at all, it was engaging and entertaining but the ending felt…. lukewarm. In this story, I was less terrified of the concept (as I was in The Extra) and more concerned about how they were gonna fix the chaos that ensued. One of the things that I really liked about the first short story was the impending doom sensation, the feeling that something horrible was happening, but then again, I didn't feel that much in this one, and I was truly hoping I would!
It still made me compelled to keep reading and theorizing about what was happening, but the ending left a lot to be desired. None of the theories I made were either proven or disproven.
I was hoping for something more concrete and creepy for the ending, but just as it happened in The Extra, it didn't land. I will, surely, be continuing The Outsiders Sequence because it is very engaging and it makes me curious to keep reading.

[RavenReads]

This is mindfuck, part two, and I mean that as the highest compliment. Neugebauer has such a distinct way of telling a story, one that leans fully into ambiguity and disorientation without ever losing its grip on the reader. You’re never quite sure what’s real, what’s happening, or where things are going, and somehow, that uncertainty is exactly what makes it so addictive.

I love how unapologetically strange this is. The confusion isn’t a flaw; it’s the experience. That constant sense of unease and unraveling kept me completely locked in from start to finish. More than anything, I’m excited to see this universe expanding. There’s something really compelling about the way Neugebauer builds these layered, interconnected stories, and I’m more than ready for whatever comes next. Yes, please, give me more of this beautifully chaotic, brain bending world.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Annie Neugebauer, and Shortwave Publishing for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

[Nao]

Podobało mi się bardziej niż poprzednia, ta atmosfera i leśny klimat (jak w pierwszej)

Nie potrafię sobie wyobrazić co bym czuła na miejscu głównych bohaterów gdybym znalazła się w ich sytuacji a tym bardziej co gdyby ta druga osoba nie wybrała mnie choć miałam trochę inne pomysły na rozstrzygnięcie kto jest prawdziwy.

*Spoilerowo*

Chciałabym jednak jakiejś odpowiedzi, kim są klony, skąd pochodzą i jaki jest ich cel.

Na miejscu dwójki głównych bohaterów też chyba wolałabym ich zabić czy coś z obawy czy po mnie nie wrócą i nie wymienią.

Zawiedziona jestem niestety końcówką kiedy to od tak zostają im wyprane mózgi :/

[Kay Oliver]

This was so eerie in the most intriguing way. You're on a camping trip with your spouse, each dealing with your own inner yet joint turmoil, and stumble upon a nice couple you share a campsite with. All hunky dory. Until it's not. I had no idea this was part of a series, but it was great as a standalone.

[Matt M]

Thank you to Shortwave and NetGalley for the eARC for review!

I loved Annie Neugebauer’s debut novella, THE EXTRA, last year and it was one of the surprise major hits for me last year. A novella paced with so much paranoia and dread. Loved it.

And now we are here with the second book in the sequence, THE OTHER. Taking place in the same world as THE EXTRA, it is not a sequel, but shares the same sense of paranoia and dread as its predecessor.

But then turn that paranoia up to 11 because this one hurt my brain in the best way. The premise is pretty simple - a married couple going through some bumps encounters their doppelgängers on a backpacking trip.

It is brilliantly told via alternating first person POVs from the wife and the husband as they both try to figure out who is their real spouse.

Neugebauer packs so much character and tension into such a small page count and this book MOVES. I would have finished this in one sitting if not for pesky work.

I really loved THE EXTRA but I think I loved THE OTHER even more. And also the ending was so good.

THE OTHER is a must-read psychological horror thriller that will have questioning what is real and what is the other.

THE OTHER is out on June 9th from Shortwave.

[Nina]

This happened to my close personal friends the Doctor and Donna in Wild Blue Yonder!

I absolutely love this series!!! Very spooky, very eerie, thanks for the rec Vida! <3

[Kayleigh Marie]

This book FUCKED ME UP. But like… in a good way.

[Ash]

This book MESSED with my mind in the best possible way. You know that Spider-Man meme of all the Spidermen pointing at each other? That was my brain with this book.

The Other follows a couple trying to work on their marriage with a hiking/camping trip. While finding a camp site to settle in for the night, they come across another couple that has very similar traits and appearances to them. When they wake up in the morning, everything changes.

Read this if you want your mind confused in a good way. It’s short and quick paced. Easy to read in one sitting! Definitely not one to miss!

Special thanks to @shortwavebooks for the arc! Pick this one up on June 9th!
