The Haunted Book by Jeremy Dyson
You will never forget this. No matter how hard you try.
Dyson nestles in the little vacant chink between Roald Dahl and Borges * * Observer * *
Darkly surreal humour. . seemingly innocent scenarios that veer into deep weirdness * * Daily Express * *
Dyson's one of those rare authors who can write from the heart while still creating something deceptively clever and complex * * Independent of Sunday * *
Gripping, twisted and devilishly enjoyable -- MARK GATISS, * * author of The Vesuvius Club and The Devil in Amber * *
The Haunted Book sets out not merely to entertain, but to embody a creeping menace in the text itself . . . Open if you dare -- Suzi Feay * * The Independent on Sunday * *
Genre defying . . . a boxing of stories within stories that reinforces the folkloric essence of ghost tales while also playing tricks as mind-bending as the image of a ghost caught in a photograph * * Metro * *
Keeps you guessing. The stories themselves are all wonderfully eerie . . . like the bookish version of walking through a haunted house at a fairground * * Savidge Reads Blog * *
A must have for fans of all things spooky -- Joel Watson * * Literature Works * *
