Scary enough for horror fans (I literally caught myself looking over my shoulder) yet has a broad appeal... An outstanding supernatural novel that utilizes M.R. Jamesian themes and a Gothic sense of place in a way that will surprise and delight readers who thought nobody wrote 'em like that anymore. |

A thoroughly entertaining look at culture clash, occult style. In the course of a nicely creepy narrative fun-house ride where plenty of things go bump in the night, Rickman skewers a whole range of modern pretentions, from the excess of New Age neo-paganism and 'back-to-the-land' nostalgia to the crude hopes of rural rock n roll bangers. |

A powerful book and a thoroughly good horror story... classic stuff. Rickman, like King, has realized that the secret of a good horror novel lies in its characterization... shrewd perception and satisfying detail. |

REMARKABLE... something new and creepy. A nice fusion of British and American horror. |
