Great book from a great writer. The story is dark and almost melancholy in parts, but definitely magical. Lebbon has such phenomenal imagination, he's been veering off into mainstream-ish fantasy lately, which I'm not a huge fan of, this book is more like a dark fantasy/horror, not overly gory, kinda like a perfectly dark fairy tale for grown ups.

This story had a lot of promise, but unfortunately never paid off. Once the setup is revealed, nothing really happens until the very end. Long, vague descriptions slow the pace down to a crawl. Reading this reminds me of waking up from a dream I can't seem to remember because it all blurs into a confusing mess. This would have worked much better as a novella -- something, in my opinion, Tim Lebbon is better at writing. There simply wasn't enough material to merit a 325 page novel. I hate to say...more

Wow, finally finished this one. This poor book was lost for weeks, and I was distracted off and on when reading it. Just took awhile. The first half didn't pull me in and it was harder to get into. The story and details took off much nicer the second part. It's a personal pet peeve of mine but I kept shuddering whenever the hero of the story kept saying, Papa. It just didn't sit right with me. Otherwise Lebbon writes beautifully, the author is incredibly talented with words! It's a poet...more

An entertaining and atmospheric novel, reminiscent of half-recalled dreams and memories you didn't know were there. A supernatural tale that relied less on gore for scares, instead playing on the fear of the unknown and unanswered questions, also bringing with it a touching acknowledgement of the intertwining human (and not-so-human) relationships of the main characters.
Also quite liked that the couple featured share the same names as myself and my significant other!

This is an Indiana Jones styled adventure within a horror genre. The concept is unique and the characters are consistent and palatable. The main character cries too much but then I might do the same thin in the same predicament. Again, i use the word "well written". Tim Lebbon never lets up on the excitement; the story never falters. The reader is constantly stimulated.

Just like Lebbon to start off strong and take you through a fast paced adventure that never seizes to disappoint. Just when you think you have it figured out, he blind sides you. I enjoyed the supernatural aspects of it, which pretty much sums up the story.

Tim Lebbon has a great pen for being lyrical and giving your thoughts lots of imagery. It was a very unique book. Also the first one by this author I have read. I will read another of his works soon.

Fantastic read! One of the most original horror novels I've encountered in some time.

I was born in London in 1969, lived in Devon until I was eight, and the next twenty years were spent in Newport. My wife Tracey and I then did a Good Thing and moved back to the country, and we now live in the little village of Goytre in Monmouthshire with our kids Ellie and Daniel. It’s a lovely place – pub, shop, chip shop, school – and we’re very happy here. Two minutes’ walk in any direction a...more
