Description
* New novel THE LIFE IMPOSSIBLE available in paperback now *
NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING DAMIAN LEWIS AND KELLY MACDONALD
FAMILIES. SOMETIMES THEY'RE A BLOODY NIGHTMARE . . .
Life with the Radleys: Radio 4, dinner parties with the Bishopthorpe neighbours and self-denial. Loads of self-denial. But all hell is about to break loose. When teenage daughter Clara gets attacked on the way home from a party, she and her brother Rowan finally discover why they can't sleep, can't eat a Thai salad without fear of asphyxiation and can't go outside unless they're smothered in Factor 50.
With a visit from their lethally louche Uncle Will and an increasingly suspicious police force, life in Bishopthorpe is about to change. Drastically.

Media Reviews
Addictive * * Daily Mail * *
Highly recommended * * Observer * *
Great fun * * Vogue * *
Red-blooded fiction at its most seductive * * Sunday Telegraph * *
Haig's very original spin on the [vampire] myth is insightful, frightening and uplifting * * Guardian * *
Delightfully eccentric . . . a strangely moving portrait of a marriage * * Financial Times * *
Delightfully new and, unusually, rather English . . . An enjoyably twisty and self-aware tale * * Metro * *
Haig writes in addictive, bitesize chapters that pump the action along . . . All vampire fiction has a strong sexual element, but in this book, the passion's not just for the pale-faced teens * * Daily Mail * *
Beautifully written . . . I just loved The Radleys -- JO BRAND
A sharp, bloody tale of abstinence and indulgence (and trying not to eat the neighbours) -- STEVEN HALL
