With the horrific tale of Charles Manx and his Silver Wraith, Joe Hill has established himself as the premiere horror and supernatural thriller writer of his generation.

Hill's nightmarish, devilish protagonist is Charlie Manx - who uses his supernatural powers in his ghastly mission to kidnap and kill dozens of children... and to scare the living bejesus out of the readers... This book is well-written, extremely dark and awfully gruesome. - Daily Mail
will delight horror/fantasy fans...Steven King's son has the same knack as his dad for telling gruesome magical tales - MyM Magazine
A deliciously horrific fantasy...the work of a talented and evolving storyteller whose pages sure do turn. - The Skinny
Genuinely scary - Independent on Sunday
This is a book that starts with a bang and then relentlessly builds. Joe managed to make my skin crawl in the first chapter, turning what should be a time for celebration into something decidedly creepy. At the mid-point of a lengthy book it became near un-putdownable, in that horrifying 'can't look away from a car crash' kind of way.

was not sure if i would like this book as dont read horror as such, but i must admit to really enjoying it. it wasnt so much horror as suspense. at 789 pages its a long book but does not feel that way when reading it... More
Brilliant premise, believable characters and a spooky interconnectedness. I highly recommend this book to Stephen King fans, especially those itching to read Doctor Sleep, but I am sure any horror fan will love it.
