'Stifling & puzzling, & so thoroughly unsettling. I loved every creeping moment of Williams' palpitating foray into supernatural horror.' The Fantasy Hive

I was absolutely blown away. This serial killer mystery and thriller fully embraces its folk horror origins. The spooky, sinister setting is superbly drawn. I could almost feel myself shivering in the shadow of Red Rigg Fell. James Oswald

'I, for one, just love tales of crime laced with a hint of the occult and I can think of no better offering in this category of fiction than The Hungry Dark. Nonstop plotting, richly drawn characters and a masterful touch in blending crime procedure with otherworldly gothic makes this novel a one-sitting read. Fantastic—in every sense of the word!' Jeffery Deaver, author of The Bone Collector and Hunting Time

'The Hungry Dark is a delicious, unforgettable blend of true crime and folklore horror. The interlocking mysteries hooked me; I couldn't stop thinking about it, even long after finishing.' Darcy Coates

'Turn on the bedside lamp, check under the bed, and be prepared to stay up all night finishing this haunting novel. The Hungry Dark is the perfect combination of a twisty thriller and a classic horror tale, but it’s so much more. It’s a story about discovering our destiny, confronting our demons, and finding our way out of the dark. Jen Williams is at the top of her game.' Alex Finlay
