Marcus Sedgwick is a true original - Independent on The Book of Dead DaysLike Pullman, Sedgwick draws characters so magnetic that readers will find it hard to look away. - Booklist on My Swordhand is SingingYou're in safe hands with Sedgwick - Guardian on The Book of Dead DaysClassy, elegant and gripping... A novel for a chilly night with a cup of tea and a warm blanket where you start reading and then go on and on, unable to stop.This macabre fantasy follows a trail of blood across Europe over 50 years...Stylish, thrilling and fast, you needn't be a horror fan to enjoy this. - Sunday MirrorThis is a genre book (of whichever genre you choose, although I know which side of the fence I'm on) of great distinction and quality. Marcus Sedgwick has produced a galling amount of high quality children's and teen reads in a short career that shows no sign of relenting, nor of losing his way as he steps into the adult market. - The BookBagThe style is much like a Victorian ghost story with the expectation of horror building with every page, drawing the reader in... I was enthralled. - Our Book Reviews
