<p>Praise for Syd Moore:</p>

<p>‘<em>Strange Magic</em> is that rarest of things: a book which sets out unashamedly to entertain, and does so with wit, style, and erudition. I gleefully submitted to a tale of witchcraft, feminism, mysterious strangers, historical atrocities, plucky heroines and ghastly apparitions – and came away more proud than ever to be an Essex girl.’ <strong>Sarah Perry, author of<em> The Essex Serpent</em> and <em>Melmoth</em></strong></p>

<p>'A fun and thrilling read, one hugely impressive element is that Moore uses her light tone and intricate character relationships to address some serious points - ranging from people trafficking through to the derogatory stereotype of the Essex Girl. Lead character Rosie Strange is a woman to be admired with her ballsy, no-nonsense attitude, excellent boots and compelling family history. I can't wait to see more of Rosie, Sam and the Essex Witch museum in the future.' <strong>Cathi Unsworth, author of <em>Weirdo</em></strong></p>

<p>‘Dennis Wheatley meets Caitlin Moran.’ <strong>Starburst</strong></p>

<p>'The Strange novels are a breath of fresh air for fans of supernatural mysteries...all fantastic books...I can’t recommend them highly enough' <strong><em>Paranormal Underground</em></strong></p>
