The Devils Own Work by Alan Judd
Guardian Fiction Prize-winning and extraordinarily highly critically acclaimed, The Devils Own Work is a subtle, compulsive hallucinatory tale of possession.
'More chills in its little length than in a whole shelf of bestsellers' STEPHEN KING 'At once moral fable, cautionary ghost story and inspired attack on the whole hellbent drift of modern letters, this is a splendid tale, splendidly told, which Ford or Henry James would have been glad to have written.' Robert Nye, Guardian 'This novel delighted and terrified me as it must terrify writers, showing them a pit of hell.' Ruth Rendell, Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year 'Judd's creation is perfect in itself: totally true, totally "real", totally right. And superbly written.' Mary Hope, Financial Times
