brow Dickensian writing...Yancey builds the action towards the
climactic cemetary scene while also deftly handling the changing

"This has all the elements of the best Victorian mystery and
horror...Readers who like their horror truly horrible and yet
archly distant and peppered with ecstatic Victorian-scented
comments on the woes of the human condition will jump right in and
not emerge until the last relieved gasp."--The Bulletin of the
Center for Children's Books
"This story is gothic horror at its finest and most disturbing. A
cross between Mary Shelley and Stephen King, the tale will force
readers to stay up late to finish and then remain awake, afraid to
shut off the lights...The richness of the language, the strain of
wry humor, and the perfectly drawn characters make it a marvelous
read...This book is perfect for readers who want their nightmares
in a literary package."--VOYA
"Yancey takes...gore and violence...to thrilling new levels in this
sophisticated tale."--School Library Journal
