A tangled, gnarled, wonderfully original, strange, beautiful beast of a book. I will be reading everything Rainsford ever writes
DAISY JOHNSON, on Follow Me To Ground
Rainsford writes beautifully with a lyrical, earthy prose which is evocative and eviscerating yet mesmerising
Irish Independent on Follow Me To Ground
A wildly imaginative exploration of desire, fear and what it means to be a person . . . Beautiful and terrifying
Sunday Times on Follow Me To Ground
Enthralling . . . Lyrical, dark and detailed, the story twists like a root, bent in one way by desire, in another by fate
Daily Mail on Follow Me To Ground
Impressive . . . Rainsford is a writer to watch
Metro on Follow Me To Ground
Rainsford's fairy and folktale sensibility blends seamlessly with horror . . . An astonishing debut heralding the career of an exciting new writer. Strange, lyrical, and arresting, this novel will draw readers into its extraordinary spell
Kirkus on Follow Me To Ground
So immense and beautiful, it's both gorgeously composed and an addictive page-turner. Sue Rainsford is an extraordinary writer.
Donal Ryan
Lyrical, hypnotic and provocative, I devoured Redder Days in a single, slightly furious sitting and have been haunted by it ever since
Jan Carson
Terrifying, exquisite, enthralling - and shockingly beautifully written
Louise Kennedy, author of The End of the World is a Cul de Sac
Unnervingly, thrillingly strange ... a masterpiece of literary horror
Cal Flyn
Incredibly moving, superbly imaginative and beautifully written
Elaine Feeney, author of As You Were
A beautifully written, enigmatic nightmare ... visceral, timely and deeply unsettling
SFX
Rainsford's spare, haunting style and willingness to tread into dark areas make this an accomplished and disturbing read.
Observer
A unique new voice in Irish writing ... I was drawn in and completely gripped by this dark, mysterious tale.
Irish Times
Brilliantly original
Irish Independent
Beautiful
Irish Times
The writing is dauntingly elliptical, the atmosphere of the novel charged with doom. Uneasy reading for uneasy times
