Revue de presse
"A sinister, funny, moving tale of demonic possession, murder and religious fanaticism" (Sunday Telegraph)
"Barmy and scary and predating Jekyll and Hyde. And written by a shepherd who barely read any books. A Scottish classic, a world classic, yet hardly anyone, writers excepted, has actually read it" (Ian Rankin Observer)
"A strange and disturbing novel written by a self-educated Highland shepherd. A gripping and pioneering work that deals with the nature of good, evil and religious fanaticism" (Daily Express)
"That peerless drama of divided selves and doppelgangers" (Maggie O’Farrell Observer)
"One of the great English gothic novels. Some would say, simply, that it is one of the great novels" (Daily Mail)
