Review:
"I had forgotten just how real this 1951 classic seems - and am impressed by how eerily relevant it now appears." (The Observer)
"...read by Alex Jennings, the clear-cut narration lends itself well to Bill's creeping sense of doom." (The Bookseller)
"Jennings carries all the characters with consummate skill." (audiobooksreview.co.uk)
"Remains fresh and disturbing in an entirely unexpected way." (The Guardian)
