Reseñas de la Crítica

"A creepy, intriguing and dangerously addictive supernatural novel." (Sun)

"Rice's characters are complex and real, his dialogue pitch-perfect, and his writing intelligent and strong. He builds suspense beautifully as Marshall's malevolence reaches a crescendo of violence amid enduring philosophical questions about what it means to be human." (Publisher’s Weekly)

"Christopher Rice has written an amazing horror novel with more twists and turns than a mountain road. You'll think you know your destination...but you'll be wrong." (Charlaine Harris)

"Christopher Rice never disappoints with his vivid people and places and masterful prose. He will hold you captive under his spell as his images and emotions become your own." (Patricia Cornwell)
