Review
Priestley's gothic fest of Poe-like fables stand out like shining beacons * Guardian *My insides were still untangling themselves hours after I had closed the book * Sunday Telegraph *Mesmerising, understated, and convincingly Victorian in tone ... A book for children who enjoy being frightened – and a perfect introduction to Saki and Edgar Allen Poe * Guardian *Throbs with sinister brilliance ... The art of the chilling, well-crafted ghost story is still alive and kicking * Literary Review *
