"Myerson takes us into her rising levels of panic, right up to the
final plot-twist ... Myerson writes with a fluidity that quickly
absorbs the reader"
*Independent*
"a gripping tale ... Myerson keeps the reader guessing until the
very end and provides no easy answers in a deceptively simple read
that will compel horror fans while being just as satisfying to her
own readership"
*Observer*
"brimming with black magic, murder and menace. Full of twists and
turns, and written with subtlety and intelligence, it's a truly
haunting tale written in the best horror tradition"
*Sunday Mirror*
"Good things happen when writers enter the realm of the unexpected
for new horror fiction from Hammer ... The pace is terrific and she
keeps your pulse pounding."
*The Times, Saturday Review*
"a good fast read; just the thing for your next Caribbean
holiday"
*Evening Standard*
"genuinely scary and enthralling"
*Spectator*
"a genuinely creepy tale from a very skilled author"
*Rich Tapestry Reads*
"Julie Myerson's novels are perfectly suited to long, drifting
afternoons spent in empty houses with only the odd, atmospheric
creak of pipe or groan of plank for company."
*Daily Telegraph*
"Her reputation is terrific, and she completely deserves it."
*Independent*
"Myerson can write. Her dialogue has poise and precision, and she
seldom pre-empts the reader. She also knows how to structure a
narrative, so that details are revealed gradually and without
prescription."
*Guardian*
