Advance Praise

'Insane, claustrophobic and gloriously creepy. Dighton has crafted a tale of dark, pervasive horror that I couldn’t put down. The first tendrils of insanity tease the reader early on but by the wonderfully bonkers climax, the author gives us both barrels. This is must read for fans of the genre.' - From Chris Coppel, author of ‘Lingering’, ‘Lifetimes’, ‘Lunacy’, ‘Last Light’ and more.
