Critics Review
Subtle, rich, and deeply evocative. * Teleread.com *‘All of Littlewood’s novels have been good, but this is my favourite’ Black Static. * Black Static *‘A haunted house novel by a writer of exceptional skill … that stands alongside the greats of the genre: fertile ground worked by the likes of Shirley Jackson, Richard Matheson, Stephen King, against whose seminal works Alison Littlewood can hold her head high … one of the most exceptional horror authors of the current generation’ Reader Dad. * Reader Dad *‘Perfect Halloween and Christmas evening reading, though why wait till then? The summer months may be coming, but there’ll be a chill in the air once you start turning the pages. It certainly makes you wonder what will be next from this author, and makes you look forward to it all the more. 9⁄10’ Sci-Fi Bulletin. * Sci-Fi Bulletin *‘The author excels herself here. What Littlewood did with cults and motherhood in her debut, and fairy tales in the darkly fantastic crime fiction which followed it, she pulls off again, incredibly, in this best in class account of a haunted house’ The Speculative Scotsman. * Speculative Scotsman *‘This third novel will set Alison Littlewood apart on her own. It’s the type of book that elevates a writer into their own sphere’ The Horrifically Horrifying Horror Blog. * Horrifying Horror Blog *‘An extremely well written and engaging spooky tale’ The Horror Hothouse. * Horror Hothouse *Alison Littlewood has a real talent for building atmosphere, loaded with the promise of things to come * The Guardian *
