Critics Review
Much-anticipated second novel from the author of The Loney - Bookseller
Hurley knows how to build a dark, uneasy atmosphere, and fans of The Loney will find plenty to enjoy. - Herald SunHurley is an elegant, poetic writer with an artist’s view of landscape. He draws in the reader, revealing the social complexities of small communities while gradually enveloping everything with a thickening cloak of unease. This is super, slow-burn, creepy. - Still Not FussedHorror is a melodramatic genre and it takes a gifted writer to frighten the reader in any truly visceral way. It’s hard to say quite how Andrew Michael Hurley does it but this novel is genuinely creepy. - Western AdvocateAbout The Author
