I listened to this on a 9.5 hour drive to Kentucky and really enjoyed it. I found F.G. Cottam through his Colony series and I was excited to listen to another book. This was an engaging story with some truly delightful creepy moments. It's a slow burn story, it takes awhile for things to get rolling, but all that momentum led me to banging on the steering wheel and yelling at the main character as I was driving. I was completely engaged and really enjoyed the book. I look forward to reading more from this author, he has a knack for storytelling. ( )

Cottam has yet to disappoint me. Always recommended. ( )

Really couldn't get in to this. Struggled all the way through it. Tried too hard to be sinister, glimpses of cultish behaviour, not enough actual depth. Shame. ( )

This is the 4th novel that I have read by F. G. Cottam, and I must say that I am hooked by his writing. I have 3 more that I am waiting for in the mail. His horror stories don't involve the blood and gore that many in this genre contain. Instead, his books involve unseen horrors which are even worse. This book contains ancient witchcraft and rituals as well as ghosts and true evil. The Greer family is a loving family going through various upheavals, when they decide to move to the small picturesque Cornish fishing village of Brodmaw Bay. It was as if they were drawn there and belonged there. They are immediately accepted with open arms and made to feel at home. Then the fun begins! Like they say about when something seems too good to be true...... Cottam is an excellent author who weaves a tale that really gets you involved. I was so taken by the village that I actually googled the area, thinking how nice it would be to move to a place like that. His characters are interesting and nicely developed. I also like they way Mr. Cottam uses the epilogue to tie up loose ends and especially as a way to help the reader unwind. ( )

Wow, this book is good; full of suspense and foreboding. A mixture of a good ghost story and evil goings on by the not-so-ghostly! Wonderful writing (although a few typing errors had not been edited out in my copy), with some excellent characterisation.
This is the second book by FGCotton I have read, and I have a third downloaded to kindle to read very soon. ( )
