'By the end of the third page I was not only hooked, but beginning to think that this might be the best book I'd read all year.' Joanne Harris

'I wanted someone to know, you see. To know my truth, now that I am gone. How everything and none of it happened.'

Everyone knew bestselling novelist Cassandra Tipp had twice got away with murder.

Even her family were convinced of her guilt.

So when she disappears, leaving only a long letter behind, they can but suspect that her conscience finally killed her.

But the letter is not what anyone expected. It tells two chilling, darkly disturbing stories. One is a story of bloody nights and magical gifts, of children lost to the woods, of husbands made from twigs and leaves and feathers and bones . . .

The other is the story of a little girl who was cruelly treated and grew up crooked in the shadows . . .

But which story is true? And where is Cassie now?

MEDIA REVIEWS

This might be the best book I've read all year . . . creepy, pagan, detailed, entrancing. I loved it. - JOANNE HARRIS, author of Chocolat and The Strawberry Thief

Smart, creepy . . . glittering and menacing . . . deliciously terrifying. - Laird Hunt, GUARDIAN

Exploring the darker side of fairytales, it inhabits that liminal space where folklore and horror collide. A worrying tale where reality is filtered through the unreal, and the rational rubs shoulders with the supernatural, this is a beguiling story of love and revenge. - LUCIE McKNIGHT HARDY, author of Water Shall Refuse Them

Bruce's spooky novel is lascivious and bloody, a tale of sexual awakening and dark desires that wreathes its leafy tendrils seductively around you, then tightens them until they start to strangle. - James Lovegrove, FINANCIAL TIMES

Dark and immersive; a feast of storytelling that lingers long after the last morsel's been consumed. - SAM LLOYD, author of The Memory Wood

This beguiling and unsettling debut had me hooked from the first page . . . a unique, strange and defiant folk horror story which lingers long in the memory. - DAILY EXPRESS

A bewitching, beguiling, and deeply unsettling tale of one woman's strange life. It will ensnare you from page one and keep you riveted until the end. - CAITLIN STARLING, author of The Luminous Dead

In this storytelling masterclass, everything is inverted. - DAILY MAIL

A glorious, pitch-black fairytale of a book. Lush, strange and defiant. As soon as I finished it, I went straight back to the start and read it again. - KIRSTY LOGAN, author of Things We Say in the Dark

Odd and unsettling, this might not be for everyone, but we thought it was magic. - HEAT magazine

“A mesmerising faerie tale of dark Gothic fantasy where horror and happiness are not always so different.”

*I was provided a free copy of the book for an honest review*

You Let Me In is a very difficult book to label in terms of its genre. Is it fantasy, horror, crime, thriller? In truth it is all of those and more, a... More
