Writing in the tradition of country house ghost stories, Laura
Purcell has created a book that is unnerving and compelling in
equal measure. The Silent Companions is an atmospheric gothic tale
which chills the blood
*Sophia Tobin, author of the Sunday Times bestseller The
Silversmith’s Wife and The Widow’s Confession*
Not since The Little Stranger has a book so entranced and haunted
me. Compelling, bewitching and beautifully written. Read it if you
dare
*Anna Mazzola, author of The Unseeing*
If The Silent Companions lands on your night table, don't plan on
leaving your bed anytime soon. Immersive, meticulous, and
reminiscent of the masters of gothic fiction – not only a
compulsively readable ghost story, but a skillful, loving ode to
the entire genre
*Lyndsay Faye, author of The Gods of Gotham*
Frighteningly atmospheric, genuinely haunting and psychologically
astute, the horror of The Silent Companions lingers like truth in
the darkest corners of the human mind
*Helen Sedgwick, author of The Comet Seekers*
Compelling and claustrophobic. The pages all but turn by
themselves
*Essie Fox, author of The Last Days of Leda Grey*
Magnificently creepy … I really wished it were longer
*Natasha Pulley, author of The Watchmaker of Filigree Street*
