Quotes
“Thrilling. What we have here is a proper
scare-your-socks-off horror tale. Tallis weaves real historical figures into
the narrative and conjures up fin-de-siècle France beautifully, but his main
intention, excellently achieved, is to jolt even the hardiest of hearts.” Financial Times
“If you’re looking for the best in popular fiction, Tallis
is well worth seeking out.” Washington Post
“Demonic possession drives the plot of this polished supernatural thriller…Tallis knows how to elicit fear in his readers, with first-rate prose
and atmospherics.” Publishers Weekly
“Written in a lightly ornamented style to match its
Victorian setting, this is a full-on horror story that grabs us pretty
much from the first paragraph and doesn’t let go until it’s good and
ready to. For fans of gothic horror, a tasty treat.” Booklist
