Critics Review
Huddleston builds the dread and disorientation deliberately and relentlessly with a slow-burn, omniscient narration and great world building around the history of the home and its powers, taking readers on an all-out terrifying fight for everyone’s lives.—Booklist
T. H. Huddleston’s The Cracks is a refreshingly class-conscious creep-fest with a righteous energy. It’s Hell House meets Richard Hell; Burnt Offerings by way of the Buzzcocks.—Nat Cassidy, bestselling author of When the Wolf Comes Home and Mary
An incisive exploration of the vulnerability of grief at the cross-section of poverty, The Cracks is heartbreaking and often terrifying, a haunted house novel set to the hammering howl of a punk rock guitar chord. If you enter Hautmond Hall be prepared - this house’s grip is so tight it bleeds.—Christina Henry, author of The Place Where They Buried Your Heart
A brilliantly vicious class satire laced with visceral thrills, The Cracks shines a light on the all-too-real monsters from the past that continue to haunt us today.—Jennifer Thorne, bestselling author of Diavola
A biting satirical takedown of class privilege, The Cracks by T. H. Huddleston gives the haunted
house novel a razor-sharp refurbishment.—Leigh Radford, author of One Yellow Eye
The Cracks is an insidious piece of creeping class horror that effortlessly drags you toward the inevitable. You live in the world, you should know where it’s going, but you won’t until you reach this book’s wicked conclusion.—Chris Panatier, author of Worry Box
