Hurley, Andrew Michael

Reminiscent of Henry James and Shirley Jackson’s slow-burn scares and bubbling unease, this book is for readers who like their scares to come with a tauntingly slow drawing back of a stage curtain rather than the spring-loaded explosion of a jack-in-the-box.

While not as gripping as The Loney, the work's dark tone and slow buildup of suspense will still interest readers of gothic fiction. [Library marketing.]

This eerily atmospheric and engrossing novel will captivate readers who like their fiction with a touch of the gothic.
