Table of ContentsReviewsCreepy and compelling, it's just the thing to be reading as the nights draw in (but be prepared to sleep with your bedside lamp turned on) * Stylist * The nebulous presence of the Devil is evoked so palpably in this novel that at times I hardly dared look up when reading for fear of seeing him grinning at me from the chair next to mine. But the book would not be so terrifying were Hurley less adept at making the reader believe in his characters . . . Hurley's riveting, disturbing novel is about the ways in which both communities and families create myths to make sense of their pasts, and about how the comforting embrace of these myths can turn, if they are allowed to become too powerful into a stranglehold * Literary Review * Creepy and compelling, it's just the thing to be reading as the nights draw in (but be prepared to sleep with your bedside lamp turned on) * Stylist * Author InformationAndrew Michael Hurley has lived in Manchester and London, and is now based in Lancashire.
