Description
The Shape of Darkness:
Review
Dripping with atmosphere with a corkscrew plot, Laura Purcell just gets better and better — Stacey Halls, author of The Familiars and The Foundling
It’s her best one yet and that’s saying something. A story of a woman haunted in every way possible, I think it’s a future gothic classic — Martyn Waites
Darkly addictive and utterly compelling. Reading Laura’s books is like watching a horror movie where you have to keep hiding behind a cushion because you dread what is coming next, but you simply have to find out! — Ruth Hogan
Every bit as brilliant as I knew it would be. The writing has all the gothic creepiness that only Laura can summon, with characters as darkly ambiguous as the silhouettes themselves. It truly kept me guessing to the very last page — Sonia Velton
Beautifully eerie . Laura Purcell’s brilliance is in showing you a place and a time you think is familiar, and making every atom of it uncanny – and in The Shape of Darkness, she does it better than ever — Natasha Pulley
Purcell is rapidly making a name for herself as the queen of the superior bone chiller ― i
Purcell has established a claim on Daphne du Maurier’s territory of psychological suspense and Gothic spookiness ― Sunday Express
A clever and well-researched novel with a good twist, and it shows the nightmare of life for single women of limited means in the 19th century. ― Literary Review
The outstanding new novel from the author of the prize-winning The Silent Companions
