Critics Review
A sharp thriller […] with strong characterisation, a deep sense of place and real wit * The Irish Times *Vividly written, this is [the] perfect scary fare * The Guardian *A tense, mysterious, spooky as hell story of survival in a haunted wood … has the power to raise literal goosebumps * Cory Doctorow *Superior, scary folk horror that draws on our relationship with the land. Excellent stuff * Dave Barnett *THE WILDING is an ideal bit of science fiction-infused horror for an autumn night * Morning Star *While monsters do what monsters do, you’ll be sucked down, held and left spluttering for breath. Brilliant stuff * Daily Mail *
