Critics Review
I adored it. The Secret History meets The Haunting of Hill House… A beautifully crafted book - rich, thoughtful, terrifying. I can’t wait for people to read it * Nicholas Binge, author of Dissolution *Precise, masterful and electric, Solace House sets the gold standard for contemporary speculative fiction… A triumphant mystery that will keep you gripped right to the very last page * Rebecca Ferrier, author of the Salt Bind *Solace House is a sprawling, mind-bending, immersive mansion of a novel… This is a definite must read… and must re-read * Cailean Steed, author of Home *An instant classic… It’s the most gripping book I’ve read for months * Alison Rumfitt, author of Brainwyms *There are moments of intense revelation in Solace House so vivid that I can still see them. This strange, surprising house is a hallucinatory delight * Aliya Whiteley, author of Skyward Inn *Intensely eerie, characters you care about all the way through, twists and turns that take it into thriller territory until it turns into full-on cosmic horror… It kept me guessing until the very end * James Alistair Henry, author of Pagans *Delightfully sinister… The best part is that you’ll not realize you are lost until it’s far too late to escape * Hiron Ennes, author of The Works of Vermin *A delight… A wonderful sense of creeping dread, but the characters twinkle and pop off the page * Adam S. Leslie, author of Lost in the Garden *
