'Ward's most complex and brilliant book yet' - GUARDIAN
'A darkly moving and heartfelt exploration of obsession' - DAILY EXPRESS

Writers are monsters. We eat everything we see...

In a windswept cottage overlooking the sea, Wilder Harlow begins the last book he will ever write. It is the story of his childhood companions and the shadowy figure of the Daggerman, who stalked their New England town. And it is the story of Sky, Wilder's one-time friend, who stole his unfinished memoir to turn it into a lurid bestselling novel, then died without ever explaining why.

This book is Wilder's last chance for revenge. But as he writes, he begins to find notes written in Sky's signature green ink, and events in his manuscript start to chime eerily with the present. Is Sky haunting him? And who is the dark-haired woman drowning in the cove, whom no one else can see? With his grip on reality slipping, Wilder begins to fear thatthis will not only be his last book, but the last thing he ever does...

'So beautiful, so dark and so vivid' - JENNIFER SAINT

Rezensionen
A wonderful piece of Gothic sleight-of-hand; a beautifully sinister tale of perception and identity that had me enthralled from the first page Joanne Harris, author of CHOCOLAT
Praise for The Last House on Needless Street
"A true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end. Haven't read anything this exciting since Gone Girl." -Stephen King

"Sensational....I can't recall another novel in recent years that dares so much and succeeds so wildly." -A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

"[A] terrifying exploration of human consciousness that excavates character like an ice pick chipping through an ancient glacier: The deeper one goes, the chillier it gets." -The New York Times

"[T]he most powerful narratives in the genre manage to create an unshakable sense of unease, and that's exactly what this novel does ... a must-read for those who like the kind of labyrinthine narratives that pull the rug out from under you, sending you tumbling into a dark, dark room." -NPR

Praise for Sundial
"Sundial is a heart-in-the-throat smash." -Joe Hill, New York Times bestsellingauthor of The Fireman

"Ward is surely one of the most talented writers working in the thriller genre today. This book will haunt you." -Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"As if we needed further evidence, Sundial confirms Ward as one of the brightest stars in horror fiction. She's brilliant." -Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones and Ararat

"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 Survivor Song and A Head Full of Ghosts

"There are two things you must know about Sundial. First, it's a great read, a genius piece of storytelling. But second, this is true horror, the horror of everyday life that we make ourselves blind to, horror that is brutal, truthful, terrifying. Catriona Ward knows horror." -Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor

"Masterful...[A] must-read for fans of gothic literature and taut psychological thrillers." -Publishers Weekly, starred review

"[A]n original tale marked by constantly increasing tension... Sundial will transfix readers until the final shocking conclusions." -Booklist

"A deeply dark and unexpected tale about families, love, hate, the long shadow of the past, and the redemptive power of storytelling. Clever, poetic and immersive." -Araminta Hall, author of Imperfect Women

"Absolutely, stunningly, heartbreakingly wonderful. A wild beast of a book." -Virginia Feito, author of Mrs. March
