“As in Dark Matter, Paver manages the balance between outright supernaturalism and the suggestion that the horrors are psychological in origin with great skill. Selected by The Times to be their Book of the Month “A gripping ghost story… This is a brilliantly atmospheric read (be warned: it’s also terrifying!) with a brave, forward-thinking heroine I loved.” Wakenhyrst is a more-than-worthy addition to their ranks.” Starting with her 2010 novel, Dark Matter, and continuing with 2016’s Thin Air, Paver has been writing ghost stories distinguished by their vividly evoked settings and the struggles of their protagonists.
Benson filtered through a 21st-century sensibility.Ĭoncise and intense, filled with references to the tradition of English ghost stories, Paver’s novel succeeds on a number of levels. It’s an utter triumph of a book, a pitch-perfect evocation of the stories of M.R.
