Customer Reviews

Gut Wrenchingly Disturbing!!
A father takes his young daughter Naomi, christmas shopping. He turns his back for a minute and Noami is gone - but this is no ordinary kidnapping. This is a gut wrenchingly, spine tingly ghost story. Written through the father's eyes this book makes you live every moment with him. It grabs you gently by the throat and continues to squeeze until the last page. Must be read in one sitting and certainly not one to be left on Great Aunt Edna's chair. A superb read if you can get hold of a copy. Aycliffe at his horrific best!!

A real spine chiller
This is the only book i have ever read that has truly scared the hell out of me. It changes the whole atmosphere of the room you are in, and sends constant shivers up your spine, even on repeated readings! The story flows very well. Every person i know that has read it finished in one sitting, they just found they couldn't stop reading it. it is a very shocking and gruesome story, but it is not graphic as such, your imagination fills in all those bits better than they could ever be written. it's just a shame this book is out of print, i think it would sell very well if re-released especially seeing as there are rumors of a movie being made, although i am a little sceptical of how true to the book it will end up. i shall leave you now saying only this, venture into naomi's room, i promise you will not be dissapointed

Best book I've read
I got this book maybe 10 years ago and I've read it about 10-15 times! It's absolutely brilliant. Every time I read it there's something else that I hadn't spotted. I've lent it to many friends and every one of them said it was brilliant and so scary. I'd definately recommend it to pretty much everyone who likes horror/psychological thriller. I'll never get tired of reading it and lending it out.
