Critics Review

‘A frightening, gripping tale. This is one of the most fascinating and controlled first novels I’ve ever read - a sustained performance that hypnotizes and terrifies’

A strange tale seething with disturbing psychological overtones … Hitchcock would have loved the premise - US Kirkus Review

‘A frightening, gripping tale. This is one of the most fascinating and controlled first novels I’ve ever read - a sustained performance that hypnotizes and terrifies’ - Edmund White

‘Original, subversive, funny, twisted and totally encrossing … a mind-bending tour de force. I read the last page, flipped back to the beginning, and immediately started it again’ - Chelsea Cain

‘The relationship between Daniel and Luke is unique in the annals of literature. I haven’t been this entertained by a debut novel in years’ - Dale Peck

‘Striking narration…Deleew s precise, vivid prose has a visceral power of both a successful psychological thriller and a gripping ghost story’ - The Telegraph
