“Exquisitely creepy, Kat Ellis delivers another beguiling feast that drew me in like a drowning—intensely, and all at once. The Haunting of Hill House by way of The Shining, The Devouring Light is a stunning and genuinely unsettling meditation on fame, cult mentality, and friendship-rivalry. Claustrophobic, insidious, and utterly brilliant, readers won’t escape these pages easily… but, then, why would they want to?” — Dawn Kurtagich, award-winning author of The Madness and The Thorns"This note-perfect horror plays such a beautiful and haunting tune, you'll be left earwormed for days. Kat Ellis is one of my favourite horror authors, and this one rocks – a masterful blend of body horror and haunted-house mystery that is also a savagely funny dissection of fame and its attendant cost. I loved every leech-infested page."  — Josh Winning, author of Heads Will RollPraise for Kat Ellis: ”Harrow Lake is a captivating and creeping mystery full of brilliantly twisting turns and dark secrets. You’ll hear Mister Jitters in the deadly whisper of the pages as you race through this chilling, thrilling book.” — Holly Jackson, bestselling author of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder“Atmospheric and chilling.” — Mindy McGinnis, author of The Female of the Species“A thrilling mindbender.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books“A sinister story that slowly builds to a heart-pounding climax.” — Kirkus Reviews
