What the critics say

Evans' story tingles with psychological suspense
- Keith Donohue, author of The Stolen Child

So incredibly scary and unnerving. Man, did this get under my skin in the very best way
- Brad Metlzer

This stunning novel marks the debut of a serious talent. Evans manages to take a familiar concept-the young child haunted by a demon invisible to others-and infuse it with psychological depth and riveting suspense... Evans subtly evokes terror and anxiety with effective understatement
- Publishers Weekly

This is the kind of novel that keeps respectable reviewers up until the small hours. Put it down if you can
- The Times

A psychological thriller that keeps the reader on edge until the last page... A haunting story of guilt, denial and the possibility of demonic possession
- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

A creepy and entertaining story full of perfectly written characters. A definite recommendation
- Library Journal

This is an edgy, compelling read-more unnerving than scary-that will slide its hooks deep inside and throttle you more than a few times before it's all over
- Booklist

A blend of creepy literary horror and taut psychological thriller
- Marie Claire

Sinister, edgy and with a hold that doesn't let up
- Woman & Home

Best read as an authentic, full-blooded, old-fashioned ghost story...genuinely eerie... will have you staying up late
