Fletcher excels at infusing the mundane . . . with a slow-burning sense of unease - Guardian

Unsettling, horribly gripping and touched with genius - Daily Mail

Fletcher has a most distinctive voice, and convinces me that there may be some truth at last in those rumours about a renaissance in British supernatural fiction. - Lisa Tuttle, The Times

An acutely unsettling folk horror with a superbly unreliable narrator - Metro

Daniel's traumatic back story makes it easy for the sceptic not just to accept but to enjoy and admire the supernatural element as projections from a deeply troubled mind. This gives the novel a political as well as a psychological edge, which I particularly appreciated. One of this year's favourite reads - Anne Goodwin, author of Sugar and Snails

I absolutely loved it. This book is the narrative equivalent of a "Magic Eye" painting - you know that there's more going on below the surface and try as you might to decipher exactly why it is, things keep shifting before your very eyes and the final picture eludes you right to the very end. And perhaps even afterwards . . . The perfect balance of a perfectly created fictional world and a realistic portrayal of an unsettling atmosphere and a wonderfully unreliable narrator. Dark, intriguing and profoundly unsettling - On the Shelf

Terrifying, slow-burning, exquisitely wrought - Lancashire Evening Post

A story with an air of menace throughout - and I loved it! It's dark, unsettling . . . I couldn't put it down. It really explores the human emotions of loss, of grief, of loneliness and of self-preservation, one of those really unsettling reads. A haunting, dark and twisty story - Books and Me
