Review:
"The terror is as relentless as the ballad the story springs from . . . Chilling" -- Geraldine Brennan * Observer * "A fabulous revisiting of the hoariest of old chestnuts" * Daily Telegraph * "Not for the faint-hearted, this mesmerizing tale generates goosebumps on almost every page" * Booktrust * "A real stunner of a debut: Long Lankin is a wonderful, imaginative slow burner of a thriller . . . Lindsey Barraclough's first novel is written with a style and intelligence that would put many an adult thriller to shame" -- John Millen * Young Post * "Such an impressive debut. Every element is spot on - from the elegant prose, through the realistic portrayal of various aspects of family life, the three-dimensional characters and the occasional comic set-piece, to the supernatural horror underpinning it, which is absolutely chilling. Highly recommended" -- Jill Murphy * The Bookbag *
