Recenzii

An amazing piece of fiction
Here is the masterpiece by which Hurley must enter the Guild of the Gothic: it pleases me to think of his name written on some parchment scroll, alongside those of Walpole, Du Maurier, Maturin and Jackson
A masterful excursion into terror
An extraordinarily haunted and haunting novel
This is a novel of the unsaid, the implied, the barely grasped or understood, crammed with dark holes and blurry spaces that your imagination feels compelled to fill
Written with the skill of a poet
An eerie, disturbing read that doesn't let up until its surprise ending
An unforgettable addition to the ranks of the best British horror
A haunting and ambiguous novel that will keep you up at night
A tale of suspense that sucks you in and pulls you under. As yarns go, it rips
A masterclass in spinning out tension
A haunting exploration of religion, faith and family. Hurley's evocation of the landscape is bleak and beautiful, while his portrayal of a family slowly imploding is both perceptive and compelling
