A propos de ce titre

Revue de presse:

“The Messenger of Fear has a two-word message for readers: BE AFRAID. The nightmares start in chapter one and don’t let up. Seriously, this book gave me chill after chill. My message to you: Read it in a safe, well-lighted place. It’s fright fiction at its best!” (R.L. Stine, Bestselling Author of the Goosebumps and Fear Street Series)

“The enviably cunning and ever versatile Michael Grant explodes on the scene with Messenger of Fear, a palpitating horror fantasy mash-up with a genius twist that blew my mind. I walked through O’hare with this book in my face—I couldn’t stop reading!” (Lisa McMann, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Wake trilogy and The Unwanteds series)

“Mesmerizing, horrifying, and deeply thought-provoking.” (Carrie Ryan, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth)
