His relationship with Hammer stretches back to earliest childhood. He describes never having been so chilled and intrigued as with the supernatural Hammer films he grew up with. Their effect was so great that he spent many schooldays drawing replica storyboards on cash register rolls, and holding showings for classmates on a shoebox cinema.

The Times
Pierre lets his baroque storytelling powers run riot in this latest addition to the excellent Hammer series … exerts an uncanny, bone-chilling thrill

Pierre’s prose is a sumptuous, metaphor-infused confection … Quirky characters and off-the-wall observations about modern life’s obsession with electronic communication keep the book constantly entertaining.
SFX
Winningly peculiar

Beautifully written, creepy and funny ... A fascinating, occasionally chilling tale
