Alex North is the internationally bestselling author of The Whisper Man and The Shadows. He lives in Leeds, England, with his wife and son, and is a British crime writer who has previously published under another name.
Praise for THE SHADOWS "This is absorbing, headlong reading, a play
on classic horror with an inventiveness of its own... As with all
the best illusions, you are left feeling not tricked, but full of
wonder."
- The New York Times "If you liked The Whisper Man, you'll love
this. Alex North has crafted a second novel which is just as
gripping as his first and even scarier. Hugely atmospheric and
deliciously creepy, it's about how the past encroaches on the
present, and how dreaming influences reality, until in the
frightening world of The Shadows, it becomes harder and harder to
tell one from the other... and the nightmare takes over."
- Alex Michaelides, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The
Silent Patient "North follows up his sensational debut, 2019's The
Whisper Man, with another terrifying spine-tingler... This
heart-pounding page-turner is impossible to put down."
- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Expect to be electrified by
the author's total mastery of misdirection. This second stunning
thriller firmly establishes North as a rapturous teller of
tales."
- Booklist (starred review) "Before this twisty story ends, there
are many surprises....a successful, creepy thriller. If you like
Stephen King, you'll probably like North's new thriller, too.
- Library Journal Praise for THE WHISPER MAN "Works beautifully...
If you like being terrified, The Whisper Man has your name on
it."
- The New York Times (Editor's Pick) "Superb."
- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Poignant and
terrifying...Take a deep breath before diving into this one."
- Entertainment Weekly "Brilliant...an affirmation of the power of
the father-son relationship...will satisfy readers of Thomas Harris
and Stephen King."
- Booklist (starred review) "A terrifying page-turner with the
complexities of fatherhood at its core."
- Kirkus Reviews "A powerful and scary story that will haunt
readers long after the final page is turned."
- Library Journal "First it's spooky. Then it's scary. Then it's
terrifying. And then... well, dear reader, proceed at your own
risk. An ambitious, deeply satisfying thriller--a seamless blend of
Harlan Coben, Stephen King, and Thomas Harris. My flesh is still
crawling."
- A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in
the Window
