Critics Review
A suspenseful, spooky tale that resonates with contemporary anxieties * Guardian *
Kiersten White gave me a serious case of the heebie-jeebies that I couldn’t shake long after I’d put this book down! The sense of dread starts off as a whisper and builds into a full-blown scream as pieces of the mystery surrounding Mister Magic fall into place in this terrifying novel. It had me questioning and requestioning my childhood memories and television shows during this suspenseful, creepy ride. * Amanda Jayatissa, author of You’re Invited *
IT meets The Stepford Wives in this wildly compelling story that explores whether or not it’s possible to recapture the magic of childhood friendship, and what happens when you discover the darkness hiding underneath your memories. White’s writing is guaranteed to hook you. Be careful cracking this open; Mister Magic will pull you in like a riptide. * Mallory O’Meara, bestselling author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon *
In this skin-crawling story of pop-cult fandom and 90s nostalgia, White fully delivers on her gripping premise: the troubled reunion, thirty years later, of the cast of a magical kids’ show that exists only in its viewers’ memories. Mister Magic walks the twilit line between wonder and terror where all the best childhood games are played. * Melissa Albert, author of The Hazel Wood *
I found myself thoroughly drawn in by Mister Magic, a unique thriller with a compelling cast of characters whose past hides long-buried secrets. * Karen Cleveland, Sunday Times bestselling author of Need to Know *
Few books I’ve read capture the wonder and terror of childhood as brilliantly as Mister Magic. Both creepy and profoundly nostalgic, it’s guaranteed to unsettle anyone who grew up with Barney, Sesame Street, or other children’s shows - or anyone who’s ever been a child. This book gave me nightmares in the best possible way. * Ana Reyes, bestselling author of The House in the Pines *
Mister Magic is a propulsive, exciting, often genuinely scary, endlessly compelling mystery. Imagine a trip through Twin Peaks by way of Stranger Things and Stephen King’s IT. * Terry Miles, author of Rabbits *
