`Mixes the ordinary with the macabre to provide a story that will leave you pondering...Perfectly chilling.' * Aurealis * `A bizarre read, seriously inventive and wildly different.' * Weekend West * `Lindqvist manages a near-perfect blend of moving and macabre.' * BookMooch * `A genuine skin-crawler of a book.' * Otago Daily Times on I Am Behind You * `As imaginative and brilliant as any of Stephen King's famous stories...Eerie and compelling.' * Canberra Weekly on I Am Behind You * `[A] tale of a strange evil force.' * Age * `The strength of the novel lies in the author's calm, unhurried reporting of increasingly supernatural events, and his decision to have a fictional version of himself as narrator, which lends an unsettling autobiographical element and grounds the story in reality.' * Guardian *
