You Let Me In

This might be the best book I’ve read all year … creepy, pagan, detailed, entrancing. I loved it. – JOANNE HARRIS, author of Chocolat and The Strawberry Thief
Smart, creepy … glittering and menacing … deliciously terrifying. – Laird Hunt * GUARDIAN *
Exploring the darker side of fairytales, it inhabits that liminal space where folklore and horror collide. A worrying tale where reality is filtered through the unreal, and the rational rubs shoulders with the supernatural, this is a beguiling story of love and revenge. – LUCIE McKNIGHT HARDY, author of Water Shall Refuse Them
Bruce’s spooky novel is lascivious and bloody, a tale of sexual awakening and dark desires that wreathes its leafy tendrils seductively around you, then tightens them until they start to strangle. – James Lovegrove * FINANCIAL TIMES *
Dark and immersive; a feast of storytelling that lingers long after the last morsel’s been consumed. – SAM LLOYD, author of The Memory Wood
This beguiling and unsettling debut had me hooked from the first page … a unique, strange and defiant folk horror story which lingers long in the memory. * DAILY EXPRESS *
A bewitching, beguiling, and deeply unsettling tale of one woman’s strange life. It will ensnare you from page one and keep you riveted until the end. – CAITLIN STARLING, author of The Luminous Dead
In this storytelling masterclass, everything is inverted. * DAILY MAIL *
A glorious, pitch-black fairytale of a book. Lush, strange and defiant. As soon as I finished it, I went straight back to the start and read it again. – KIRSTY LOGAN, author of Things We Say in the Dark
Odd and unsettling, this might not be for everyone, but we thought it was magic. * HEAT magazine *
