Inkubator Books is thrilled to announce that The Last Time I Saw Her from Rhiannon Barnsley will be published on Amazon on October 11, 2026.
The stranger appeared in her dreams. Now she’s invading her life.
Sage has a recurring nightmare: a woman she doesn’t know is drowning, fighting desperately as the dark water closes over her. It’s unsettling, but Sage shrugs it off when she wakes. Until she sees the same woman in a South London supermarket.
Her name is Lara, a psychology student and small-time influencer. And Sage is certain—she is about to die.
Sage feels she has to do everything she can to save Lara, and slowly, quietly, she begins to infiltrate her life—following her online, engineering a chance encounter, earning her trust. When Lara confides she’s being stalked, Sage knows she’s right—the nightmare is coming true.
But what can Sage actually do? She can’t tell Lara she was appearing in her dreams before they ever met—that would sound insane. All she can do is watch over her, try to protect her.
Then, as she gets ever closer to Lara, Sage begins to realize she isn’t a stranger at all, that they are linked by a horrifying secret that will change both their lives forever.
The Last Time I Saw Her – the gripping psychological thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Liane Moriarty, and Sally Hepworth.
