Beautifully written, creepy and funny ... A fascinating, occasionally chilling tale
The List
Chillingly discomforting ... Pierre has one of the sharpest minds in contemporary literature and there isn't a sentence wasted
Hot Press
A thoroughly modern nightmare … DBC Pierre stacks up the layers of horror with relish and skill – the Hammer label gives him a perfect excuse to leave no stop unpulled
The Times
Winningly peculiar
Independent
Pierre lets his baroque storytelling powers run riot in this latest addition to the excellent Hammer series … exerts an uncanny, bone-chilling thrill
Metro
Pierre’s prose is a sumptuous, metaphor-infused confection … Quirky characters and off-the-wall observations about modern life’s obsession with electronic communication keep the book constantly entertaining.
SFX
Pierre’s insights into human nature elevate this way above most psychological thrillers. It’s well-paced, with a cast of large-as-life characters and a structure that makes more than the odd nod towards Agatha Christie. As the tension builds to the final chaotic spiral of revelations, it becomes apparent this is a novel crying out for a full-blooded stage adaptation. It’s the least it deserves.
Event Magazine, Mail on Sunday
His distinctive style fits the atmosphere of Gothic horror… appropriately nightmarish
Evening Standard
A weird and spooky tale… Pierre writes with his usual style ... a great deal of tension and an even greater deal of imagination … a smart modern take on scary stuff
