The Half Burnt House is Alex North at his best - a writer who can terrify you on one page and break your heart on the next -- Steve Cavanagh, bestselling author of Thirteen One of those books that made me wish I'd written it. North wields suspense like a blade. Breath-taking and terrifying -- Helen Fields North's poetic way with even the most grotesque of situations is always a joy. The Half Burnt House is his best yet. I love it. -- Alex Marwood A masterfully creepy, atmospheric rush of a read that will linger with you long after you've finished the last page -- Neil Broadfoot Alex North's best book yet. It's as darkly disturbing as The Whisper Man, and as viciously twisty as The Shadow Friend. But this time there's a premise that will break your heart even as it chills you to the very marrow. Nobody in dark fiction writes family relationships - guilt, fear, loss, and ultimately love - like North, and this is an unputdownable thriller -- Derek Farrell Praise for Alex North -- : As terrifying as a great horror novel, as unpredictable as the best type of crime novel and above all beautifully written...a writer who is an absolute master of his craft -- Jane Casey This is absorbing, headlong reading, a play on classic horror with an inventiveness of its own * New York Times * Hugely atmospheric and deliciously creepy -- Alex Michaelides
