Reviews for Greyfriars Reformatory (Fiction Without Frontiers)

Greyfriars Reformatory delivers on suspense and a classic asylum setting that brings to mind novels like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The novel's greatest strength, though, is pacing. The teen characters are three-dimensional, and the story is anchored by a strong sense of atmosphere. -- Chicago Review of Books This is the perfect example of an intense and terrifying horror-psychological suspense hybrid. It is fast paced but with enough detail to get you hooked on more than the plot. -- Becky Spratford, RA For All Lee has proven time and time again that he can write some of the creepiest scenes out there and this one didn't let me down [...] If you love institutionally set horror, you'll dig this. -- Kendall Reviews This is my idea of a great horror novel; scary moments, bloody scenes and the 'Grey Girl' reminds me a lot of ghostly characters in Japanese books. -- The Book Lovers Boudoir The perfect read for any horror and supernatural fans looking for area to get under there skin, I cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next! -- The Twist and Turn Book Blog The story took such an unexpected and clever turn, while still making every little piece of the puzzle slot into place, and I was reeling. -- From Belgium with Book Love I loved this book - it has lashings of bleak Gothic horror, strongly drawn characters and a claustrophobic atmosphere, but the story is grounded in acts of injustice and betrayal which see disturbingly realistic and which have a terrible impact on all here. -- Blue Book Balloon Frazer Lee has created a horror story that lingers in my head. His fantastic world-building and characters made it so believable and I really didn't want to leave Emily and the girls there. -- Sharon Beyond the Books
