Addictive

* Daily Mail *

Highly recommended

* Observer *

Great fun

* Vogue *

See all

Red-blooded fiction at its most seductive

* Sunday Telegraph *

Haig's very original spin on the [vampire] myth is insightful, frightening and uplifting

* Guardian *

Delightfully eccentric . . . a strangely moving portrait of a marriage

* Financial Times *

Delightfully new and, unusually, rather English . . . An enjoyably twisty and self-aware tale

* Metro *

Haig writes in addictive, bitesize chapters that pump the action along . . . All vampire fiction has a strong sexual element, but in this book, the passion's not just for the pale-faced teens

* Daily Mail *

Beautifully written . . . I just loved<i> The Radleys</i>

- JO BRAND,

A sharp, bloody tale of abstinence and indulgence (and trying not to eat the neighbours)

- STEVEN HALL,

* New novel THE LIFE IMPOSSIBLE available in paperback now *

NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING DAMIAN LEWIS AND KELLY MACDONALD


FAMILIES. SOMETIMES THEY'RE A BLOODY NIGHTMARE . . .


Life with the Radleys: Radio 4, dinner parties with the Bishopthorpe neighbours and self-denial. Loads of self-denial. But all hell is about to break loose. When teenage daughter Clara gets attacked on the way home from a party, she and her brother Rowan finally discover why they can't sleep, can't eat a Thai salad without fear of asphyxiation and can't go outside unless they're smothered in Factor 50.

With a visit from their lethally louche Uncle Will and an increasingly suspicious police force, life in Bishopthorpe is about to change. Drastically.
