Reviews
Thomas explores some promising premises... a brooding atmosphere of fear permeates his novel in a constant drizzle of menace * Yorkshire Post *
Thomas effectively details the breakdown of established codes of behaviour and the depths of depravity to which humanity can sink... a gripping story * Guardian *
This bleak scary and frequently moving novel has a lot of life in it * SFX Magazine *
A talent worth watching * Sarah Broadhurst, Bookseller *
Thomas shakes concepts of 'normality' to the core. It is a challenge indeed for an author to capture authentic teenage dialogue... compelling subject matter * Independent on Sunday *
