Review

Praise for "The World House" "Playful, intriguing and a barrel of laughs, The World House is a quirky, tumbling box of delights full of adorable eccentrics on a wild, wild ride. It really knocked me in the lobes! Great fun!" - Stephen Volk "a fearless grand adventure of escalating escapades and escapes so hair-raising that his deranged imagination is barely able to contain them all! it's a fearless, hurtling hell of a debut." - Christopher Fowler Praise for Guy Adams: "a superb stand-alone novel, that uses the tried and tested premise of the haunted house to scare the fertiliser out of us." - Bookstove, reviewing Torchwood: The House that Jack Built "highly acclaimed companion" - Total Scifi Online, reviewing Life On Mars: The Official Companion
