Reviews

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*
