Review
"Dyson nestles in the little vacant chink between Roald Dahl and Borges" (Observer)
"Darkly surreal humour . . . seemingly innocent scenarios that veer into deep weirdness" (Daily Express)
"Dyson's one of those rare authors who can write from the heart while still creating something deceptively clever and complex" (Independent of Sunday)
"Gripping, twisted and devilishly enjoyable" (MARK GATISS, author of The Vesuvius Club and The Devil in Amber)
"The Haunted Book sets out not merely to entertain, but to embody a creeping menace in the text itself . . . Open if you dare" (Suzi Feay The Independent on Sunday)
"Genre defying . . . a boxing of stories within stories that reinforces the folkloric essence of ghost tales while also playing tricks as mind-bending as the image of a ghost caught in a photograph" (Metro)
"Keeps you guessing. The stories themselves are all wonderfully eerie . . . like the bookish version of walking through a haunted house at a fairground" (Savidge Reads Blog)
"A must have for fans of all things spooky" (Joel Watson Literature Works)
