<b>So creepy </b>I didn't want to read it at night. She's so good at<b> building suspense and dread</b> it is borderline upsetting to find this is her first novel. Seriously - <b>you need to prepare yourself</b>
The Warehouse
A <b>blisteringly scary</b> debut novel from a <b>wildly talented</b> author. A <b>can't-miss</b> book
<b>Marvellous</b>. The <b>storytelling is quick, well plotted and engrossing</b>. Harrison's dialogue catches the characters' quirks, insecurities and entitlement so well it sometimes feels like eavesdropping
