Sundial: Exclusive Edition (Hardback)

'Elegantly horrifying, this tale of a family's darker-than-dark past drives the knife in deep and isn't afraid to twist. It's a desert-dust nightmare with a scorpion's sting, and I loved it' - Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters

'Sundial plumbs the psychological depths and traps of toxic relationships, expertly mixing suspense, shocks, and menace. It's a wild, twisted family gothic unlike any you've read before and one you won't soon forget' - Paul Tremblay, author of A Headful of Ghosts
