The emotional connection that Gillespie creates between the reader and the Toy Thief is heartrending and brilliant.
- The Ghastly Grimoire,
"The author has incredible talent for creating a tense, atmospheric world for his characters, and I was on the edge of my seat for every page of this book."
- Magnolia Reads,
"Turning something so innocent as toys as the main focus in a horror novel…it’s enthralling...Gillespie has a particular skill in making the benign disturbing."
- Word of the Nerd,
"The antagonist or Toy Thief is so ominously portrayed, that I can honestly say that my nine-year-old self would be burrowed deep under the covers in a fetal position until daybreak – and I love that! A couple of the scenes are so well described, that I got chills while reading the book, and that hasn't happened in a long time."
- Kendall Reviews,
"It takes a lot to scare me with the amount of horror related content I take in on a day to day basis, but The Toy Thief managed to do just that. At certain points during my read, I found myself holding my breath without even realizing it. I certainly won't be able to get the unnerving description of the Toy Thief out of my mind anytime soon, or my dreams for that matter.. and I doubt you'll be able to either."
