Review:

'A story that sticks in the mind long after reading.' --Total Sci-Fi

Gary McMahon's vision is as bleak as a Yorkshire moor, but it glows with a wintry light that illuminates the dark we live in. His prose and his sense of place are precise and evocative, and his characters are as real as you and me. He's one of the darkest which is to say brightest new stars in the firmament of horror fiction. --Ramsey Campbell

Pretty Little Dead Things' is a very disturbing read. Gary McMahon seems intent on taking readers through the looking glass and tearing down the walls between the living and the dead. He creates dark, hallucinatory images that burn in your brain forever. One very creepy dude, and this is his creepiest to date. --Christopher Fowler
