Soul Feeder

Reviews / Votes

"Loved it! This is definitely my favourite Jennifer Killick story. It's clever and creepy and brilliantly gruesome. I'll be thinking about that rat for quite some time to come." - Dan Smith "A nail-biting tale of terror about battling your (literal) demons." - Phil Hickes "Fast paced peril from the queen of thrills and chills!" - Lucy Strange "Jennifer is the Queen of Middle-Grade Horror and this story perfectly demonstrates why she wears the crown. Super-accessible AND super-scary Soul Feeder is a bite-sized tale that ratchets up the chills and tension while wrapping it in a relatable tale of friendship. Scarily good." - Christopher Edge "Illustrated with cool, manga-style artwork, this will be a hit with readers aged nine and up who want a short, powerful thrill." - The Bookseller "Jennifer Killick has form when it comes to writing scary stories and this one certainly doesn't disappoint on that score - but what comes through most strongly is the power of true friendship." - Books for Keeps "This is a lights on, no strange noises kind of a book! ... The legendary Queen of Middle Grade Horror, Jennifer Killick, has teamed up with the brilliant publisher Barrington Stoke to create a spooky tale that is rich in content but incredibly accessible." - Scope for Imagination, blog "Not for nothing is the author known as the Queen of Middle Grade Horror ... For any upper KS2 school staff who are looking for something short to share with their classes around Hallowe'en, this would be my go-to and is guaranteed to satisfy even the hardiest souls who claim not to be frightened of anything." - Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library, blog "Really impressed by the tonal balance here - light-hearted in places, but not afraid to explore darker, more emotionally complex themes. Brilliant pacing. Really appreciate the skill in crafting an emotionally resonant, frightening story in such a condensed form." - NetGalley review
