I was completely enthralled' - JOE HILL'A masterpiece. Beautiful, heartbreaking and quietly uplifting' - ALEX NORTH

'One of the most extraordinary thrillers of the year so far... Splendidly sinister and twisty, it comes to a magnificent Grand Guignol finale' - Daily Mail

'This is the most gloriously complex, shifting story, deeply disturbing yet also, somehow, heartwarming ... Ward has created something exceptionally unsettling here, as many-layered and sinister as the Russian doll that sits on Ted's mantelpiece' - Observer

'Brilliant... A terrifying exploration of human consciousness that excavates character like an ice pick chipping through an ancient glacier: The deeper one goes, the chillier it gets... A novel of existential dread that explores the nature of humanity, our connection to God and the universe, and the monstrosity of that connection' - New York Times

'A chilling masterpiece in suspense... This unsettling yet deeply moving novel is a modern classic, and a major contender for book of the year' - Sunday Express

'The book sits in that twilight margin between psychological thriller and Gothic horror, with Ward, twice the recipient of the August Derleth Award, beautifully wrongfooting the reader every step of the way' - Financial Times

'This is Stephen King country, and Catriona Ward's novel is at the horror end of the thriller scale. But this is not horror as you know it... for all the deliberate echoes of Psycho and The Shining, Ward's ambition is closer to William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury. The reader is in her hands but never feels manipulated - this is horror with integrity' - The Times

'Full of twists and turns, this high-concept gothic horror is going to be huge' - Guardian

'Unsettling yet deeply moving, this chilling masterclass in suspense enthrals' - Sunday Express

'This psychological thriller about a recluse and a missing girl has been praised by Stephen King and compared to Shirley Jackson. Unmissable' - The i

'This page-turner is an absolutely gripping tale' - Closer

'Blends a multitude of forms, including crime, gothic horror and magical realism. An engrossing, idiosyncratic and unsettling piece of work' - Spectator

'There's a well deserved buzz surrounding this novel, it's a bold, clever piece of storytelling. There's a dexterity and sleight of hand to Ward's tale that is breathtakingly clever. Poignant and thought provoking' - NB Magazine

'If you like your thrillers full of twists and tinged with the Gothic then you're going to love The Last House On Needless Street. Expect the unexpected and also don't expect to take a breath until you've finished this chilling but gripping story' - Red Magazine
