Myerson takes us into her rising levels of panic, right up to the final plot-twist ... Myerson writes with a fluidity that quickly absorbs the reader
Independent
Myerson can write. Her dialogue has poise and precision, and she seldom pre-empts the reader. She also knows how to structure a narrative, so that details are revealed gradually and without prescription.
Guardian
Her reputation is terrific, and she completely deserves it.
Independent
One of Myerson's strength's lies in creating atmosphere... Myerson sees the pathos in small details.
Independent
Myerson's cleverness lies in her supremely confident ability to play with structure, drip-feeding us snippets of memory yet never losing pace along the way.
Observer
Julie Myerson's novels are perfectly suited to long, drifting afternoons spent in empty houses with only the odd, atmospheric creak of pipe or groan of plank for company.
Daily Telegraph
genuinely scary and enthralling
Spectator
a gripping tale ... Myerson keeps the reader guessing until the very end and provides no easy answers in a deceptively simple read that will compel horror fans while being just as satisfying to her own readership
Observer
a genuinely creepy tale from a very skilled author
Rich Tapestry Reads
Good things happen when writers enter the realm of the unexpected for new horror fiction from Hammer ... The pace is terrific and she keeps your pulse pounding.
The Times, Saturday Review
a good fast read; just the thing for your next Caribbean holiday
Evening Standard
brimming with black magic, murder and menace. Full of twists and turns, and written with subtlety and intelligence, it's a truly haunting tale written in the best horror tradition
