Reviews

Gripping throughout. Powerful, classic stuff.
*The Times*

Crisp prose, excellent dialogue and real sense of mounting evil.
*Time Out*

Grimly sinister. Written with blood-curdling aplomb.
*Sunday Telegraph*

Phil Rickman is one of my all-time favorites. I love everything he's done, from horror to mystery to supernatural thriller - often all in the same book.
