A genuine, gripping page-turner which shreds the nerves.
An ambitious, moral, disturbing tale with a stunning climax.
A stunning debut . . . EVERY DEAD THING ensnares us in its very first pages and speeds us through a harrowing plot to a riveting climax.
No mere shocker . . . intelligent, deep and literate . . . it is difficult to believe that this is John Connolly's first novel, so confident is the writing . . . Buy it and be scared
Painstaking research, superb characterisation, and an ability to tell a story that's chilling and thought provoking make this a terrific thriller
A tremendous achievement . . . he writes with self assured intelligence and shows every sign of being a master in this genre
Prepare to have the spine tingled by this one.
