'Phrases like page-turner and tour-de-force are slapped on any old
tome these days, but in this case, it is fully deserved. Truly the
Bill Bryson of the horror think-piece, in literary terms, the
highest honour this writer can bestow upon another.' 9/10 - Luke
Spafford, Starburst
'A paradoxically jolly book about our fascination with horror' -
Daily Mail
'A great read ... Every chapter was packed with plenty of research,
making The Frighteners an absorbing read, and whilst I read it I
learnt a lot about the history of the macabre.' -
