Critics Review
Thoroughly frightening * Daily Telegraph *
Chills the blood * The Times *
Reader beware. When you turn the last page of Susan Hill’s ghost story, you do not just close the book but emerge with an icy shiver * Daily Mail *
Psychologically astute and disturbing in its ambiguities, its impossible to resist the manipulative power of this finely constructed tale * Financial Times *
Chock-full of dimness, murk, moonlight, mystification and melancholy * Independent *
