It will leave you in tears. * Love Reading * This is a powerful book; emotional and frightening with a killer ending. An absolute must read. * Terror Tree * Compelling, heat braking, yet sinister this novel is beautifully written and thought-provoking * Telegraph and Argus * Moving and totally involving. I couldn't put it down * Stephen King * In a world where detah is everywhere, every breath, every heartbeat becomes previous. Pinborough's vivid writing ensures her readers feel every one * The Telegraph * Situated somewhere between Margaret Atwoods' The Handmaid's Tale and William Golding's Lord of the Flies, The Death House is a moving triumph with a gut-punch of a denouement * The Independent on Sunday * There are curveballs and plot twists galore, and more than a handful of tear-jerkers as the story progresses, but all of it is crafted with a care and attention to detail that defines what a good narrative and cracking tale it really is * British Fantasy Society * Pinborough layers a beautiful account of that first, maddening, youthful love, alongside the friendship and brotherhood only found in those doomed to die together. It's poignant and tear-jerking: the ending is stunning, and I haven't cried this much at a book in a long time * Strange Horizons * A very evocative, quick read - I really recommend it if you're looking for a very chilling, mysterious standalone novel * Books and Writers JNR * This is a touching tale that will linger long after you've finished reading, haunting and heartbreakingly sad * The Eloquent Page * It surprised me, it warmed me, it charmed me and shocked me both, and it's brilliant. * The Book Bag * [Pinborough] deftly manages to pull elements from various places, from horror tropes to science fiction or thriller or crime and re-weaves them into something far more compelling... she also manages to craft a book which functions perfectly well as an engrossing tale for an adult or for a YA reader. * Forbidden Planet International * Sarah Pinborough has managed to write one of the saddest love stories I have read in a while, reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet by being tragic and yet also triumphant * Fantasy Book Review * fascinating characters, sinister undertones and mysterious circumstances it makes for an incredibly addictive read * FIzz and Tattle * Impressive and moving * SFX * Unsettling, frightening and in the end uplifting, The Death House has stayed with me * Jenny Colgan * Sarah Pinborough has managed to write one of the saddest love stories I have read in a while, reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet by being tragic and yet also triumphant * Fantasy Book Review * fascinating characters, sinister undertones and mysterious circumstances it makes for an incredibly addictive read * Fizz and Tattle * The Death House is sad, stealthily creepy, emotionally haunting and quite brilliant * SFF World * Sarah Pinborough has created an incredible book with The Death House.

This book is bleak and horrible and you will love it * Geek Native * The Death House is something completely different and doesn't fall into one definite category. There are many thoughts underlying the storyline but the most prominent ones are an extraordinary love story...it won't let you go without breaking your heart * The Book Plank * The Death House is a dazzlingly emotional account of growing up, death and bits in between as well as an early contender for the book of the year * Upcoming 4 Me * First things first: Sarah Pinborough's latest novel, The Death House, made me cry...The Death House is the best book you'll read in 2015, guaranteed, and Sarah Pinborough cements her place as one of our finest living novelists * Reader Dad * The Death House is a stunning novel, and a harsh reminder that our lives are simply fragile, fleeting, heart-breaking and most likely destined to end long before we want * Starburst * A bleak but compulsive tale...The Death House could be her finest novel yet * The Big Issue * shocking and gripping, albeit ultimately hopeful and utterly moving, and it's Sarah Pinborough's finest novel to date * Sci-Fi Now *
