The Carrier
Ruth Newton | Paperback | June 2026
How much is your suffering worth? A conversation-starting, high-concept thriller for fans of Apple TV’s Severance and Jessamine Chan’s The School of Good Mothers.
Why should you suffer when she can do it for you?
A revolutionary company can free you from your unwanted emotions.
Jealousy, grief, despair. If you can afford to, you need never feel them again.
In your place is a Carrier – a woman who is paid to process your pain.
In a world full of suffering, there is no shortage of demand.
But this company has secrets. The true cost of your freedom is a Carrier’s life.
Would you let her pay the price?
