Praise for Viginia Andrews:‘Beautifully written, macabre and thoroughly nasty… it is evocative of the nasty fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and The Babes in the Wood, with a bit of Victorian Gothic thrown in. … What does shine through is her ability to see the world through a child’s eyes’ Daily Express‘Makes horror irresistible’ Glasgow Sunday Mail‘A gruesome saga… the storyline is compelling, many millions have no wish to put this down’ Ms London‘There is strength in her books – the bizarre plots matched with the pathos of the entrapped’ The Times
