A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

A remarkably assured debut. A creepy modern-day southern gothic that doesn't rely on cliche but delivers an emotionally powerful tale of self-discovery and the supernatural. --San Francisco Chronicle

Breathlessly readable, palpably atmospheric and compellingly suspenseful. --Ramsey Campbell

Spooky and engrossing ... Priest can write scenes that are jump-out-of-your skin scary. --Cory Doctorow
