Critic Reviews
'A whiff of the new Stephen King. Don't miss it' The Times. 'A terrifying supernatural story yet also a moving account of friendship and salvation' Guardian. 'Some truly scary bits ... will haunt your dreams. Best read by sunlight' Independent on Sunday. 'Lindqvist has reinvented the vampire novel and made it all the more chilling by setting it in the kind of sink estate we all know from the media. Immensely readable and highly disturbing' Daily Express. 'filled with pure horror of the multi-layered kind not seen since the early works of Clive Barker ... a bloody good read and deserves 5 stakes' steve-emmett.com.
