Review:
'A perfect, black little tale' -- The Observer
'Glaister has the uncomfortable knack of putting her finger on things we most fear, of exposing the darkness within' -- Independent on Sunday
'Glaister's writing is extraordinary: her tales of scarcely imaginable horror jumbled up with everyday comforts give rise to shivery laughter' -- Sunday Times
'Glaister, along with Ruth Rendell, has almost cornered the market in horror stories set in the suburbs ... but Glaister's work is more unsettling' -- The Times
