Media Reviews
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 *
