Marcus Sedgwick is a widely admired, prizewinning author of YA fiction. His books have been shortlisted for over thirty awards, including the Carnegie Medal (five times), the Edgar Allan Poe Award (twice) and the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize (four times). He has won the Branford Boase award for his debut novel, Floodland, and the Booktrust Teenage Prize for My Swordhand is Singing. This first novel for adults.
An intense narrative. In this macabre psychological thriller,
Sedgwick offers atmospheric settings and a relentless, chilling
plot that gives a whole new meaning to the idea of 'blood
feud.'
This adult debut portends a tremendous second act from acclaimed YA
author Sedgwick. Sedgwick's prose is nothing short of gorgeous.
Here's a novel that tastes of blood and dust, just as a fine
old-fashioned horror novel should.
