Jennifer Killicks talent for horror and humour is blended brilliantly here as the spiky dialogue, unstoppable pace and genuinely menacing atmosphere build to a tremendous climax Daily Mail

Sharp, scary and a whole lot of fun!
Christopher Edge, author of Escape Room

This is BRILLIANT! Creepy, pacy, smart, witty and just pure Jennifer genius.
Vashti Hardy, author of Brightstorm

This is Killicks best book yet; think The Breakfast Club meets Stranger Things, making great use of her talent for comic dialogue and her astute eye for just the right kind of scary for this age group.
Fiona Noble, Bookseller, Editors Choice

Dread Wood is the superb, super-scary and super-cool new horror-comedy story from the brilliant Jennifer Killick. After her last two books (the fantastically creepy Crater Lake and Crater Lake: Evolution), Jennifer has, yet again, upped the level of stylishly slick, sinister storylines and honed her clever range of shock / comedy techniques from the laugh-out-loud, nose-snortingly funny moments, to the cheekily edgy asides, to the poignant warm-hearted, gentle, fun scenes she does so well.

Spine-tingling, rib-tickling stuff. Chris Callaghan, author of The Great Chocoplot
