A sinister, funny, moving tale of demonic possession, murder and religious fanaticism
Sunday Telegraph
Barmy and scary and predating Jekyll and Hyde. And written by a shepherd who barely read any books. A Scottish classic, a world classic, yet hardly anyone, writers excepted, has actually read it
Ian Rankin, Observer
A strange and disturbing novel written by a self-educated Highland shepherd. A gripping and pioneering work that deals with the nature of good, evil and religious fanaticism
Daily Express
That peerless drama of divided selves and doppelgangers
Maggie O’Farrell, Observer
One of the great English gothic novels. Some would say, simply, that it is one of the great novels
Daily Mail
An extraordinary, irreducible fantasy
Observer
