Hear Him Calling

Powerful, haunting, and truly terrifying. Rich in character, place and plot, Hear Him Calling is rare, sinister and stunning – CHRIS WHITAKER, author of WE BEGIN AT THE END
Layered, well-paced and beautifully written, but most of all epically scary. The setting is perfect for what unfolds, a blood-curdling narrative of a terrifying villain who is anchored to the place far more strongly than the hapless newcomers and will not be displaced. Compelling from start to finish. – ROSIE ANDREWS, author of THE LEVIATHAN
Eerie, compelling and wonderfully evocative. It takes no effort to picture the desolate mountain and feel the malevolence its shadow cast. And what an ending! My heart was pounding at the lingering evil that Carly so subtly weaved into the final pages. – NATALIE CHANDLER, author of WHAT WE DID
With its sinister setting & ever-present menace, this intriguing ghost story creates such a sense of foreboding you’ll be gripped to the final page! – ANITA FRANK, author of THE GOOD LIARS
A terrifying tale. Reagon skilfully maintains the tension and the scares, turning the screw until the very last page. I read Hear Him Calling with my heart in my mouth! – LAURA SHEPPERSON, author of THE HEROINES
Haunting and atmospheric, Hear Him Calling infuses its supernatural premise with chillingly realistic themes, exploring the ways in which abusive family dynamics can, like ghosts, survive death to torment future generations. I highly recommend it! – ANA REYES, author of THE HOUSE IN THE PINES
HEAR HIM CALLING had me completely gripped. If you like your ghost stories tense and twisty, this one’s for you. – THERESA HOWES, author of THE SECRETS WE KEEP
I haven’t stopped thinking about this book since I finished reading it - Spooky lights, eerie voices, increasingly violent acts - it’s all here and it’s utterly terrifying! Reagon ekes out the tension so ominously, and the central relationships are painfully vulnerable and complex. Every page gave me chills, but the final page . . ! – NAOMI KELSEY, author of THE BURNINGS
Hear Him Calling is an insidious and deeply unnerving novel, dripping with ice cold dread. It quickly takes a hold and doesn’t let go until the true horror at its heart has been revealed. This is honestly the scariest book I have read in a very long time. – CAMILLA BRUCE, author of TRIFLERS NEED NOT APPLY
Hear Him Calling has such a brilliant build-up of dread, and characters you care about. A tense, creepy exploration of place, memory and obsession. – SARAH BROOKS, author of The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands
[Carly Reagon] is making her mark as a superb Gothic writer. I loved her debut, The Toll House, but she has stepped it up a notch with this spooky read. Atmospheric and chilling. – PRIMA
My shivers of dread were such that I had to wait until I wasn’t alone in the house to finish this book. – OBSERVER
Satisfyingly spooky – BEST
