Nowhere Burning

Reviews / Votes

Atmospheric and achingly tender suspense from one of our most original writers. I dare you not to fall under its spell -- Erin Kelly, author of HE SAID/SHE SAID So sharp and beautiful it draws blood and leaves scars -- Grady Hendrix, author of WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS Darkly compelling, and so well-drawn with such a range of believable, engaging characters... Terrific -- Joanne Harris, author of CHOCOLAT A creepy, clever and heart-rending story - compelling and beautifully crafted -- Emma Healey, author of ELIZABETH IS MISSING Gorgeous, dangerous, mythic and horrific... This unforgettable novel evokes Stephen King and fairy tales - but it's very much an original, a story for anyone who likes to marvel at a remarkable storyteller -- A.J. Finn, author of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW Broke my heart a dozen times and held me spellbound throughout. Just genius -- Sarah Hilary, author of SOMEONE ELSE'S SECRETS Catriona Ward is a sorceress of the highest order and Nowhere Burning is nothing short of spellbinding. The scale of both tenderness and terror is a marvel... I will follow Ward anywhere, holding my breath as I go -- Olivie Blake, author of THE ATLAS SIX Fiercely original, full of malice and wild empathy. Ward is so damn good and always, always surprising -- Lauren Beukes, author of THE SHINING GIRLS An amazing mix of intricate story-telling, edge of your seat plotting, incredible world-building and characters who will find a place in your heart. A bit Stranger Things, a bit Spielberg, a bit Stephen King, whilst also being completely original -- Araminta Hall, author of EVERYTHING AND NOTHING Haunting and unsettling... Within the horror, there is tenderness, too, and hope. A beautiful, disturbing novel about the power of belonging -- L.V. Matthews, author of THE TWINS Gripping and beautiful and haunting and virtuously crafted... A thrilling, sinuous reflection on the lengths we go to for family, you won't be able to stop reading -- Virginia Feito, author of MRS MARCH Exceptional. So painful and heartbreakingly human. Lost and broken people are the key to a great horror novel, and nobody does them better than Catriona Ward -- Christopher Golden, author of ALL HALLOWS It's impossible to overstate how astonishingly good this book is. It has such an overwhelming richness that I almost had to keep stopping to come up for air. But of course I couldn't, because Nowhere kept pulling me in... Genuinely stunning -- Kate Simants, author of FREEZE Anyone who has reached a hand toward the night sky will understand the beautifully incurable ache for belonging at the heart of Nowhere Burning -- Christopher Buehlman, author of BETWEEN TWO FIRES Nowhere Burning is hypnotic - unnerving, beautiful and steeped in dread. A story of ruin, refuge and the ghosts we carry; it burns quietly - and then it blazes -- Joanna Wallace, author of YOU'D LOOK BETTER AS A GHOST Terrifyingly good. Fierce, but also tender, and wildly original. Catriona Ward is one of our best writers and she is tearing us all to pieces -- Anna Mazzola, author of THE CLOCKWORK GIRL Completely original. My book of the year so far. Spooky and heartbreaking and beautiful -- Imran Mahmood, author of YOU DON'T KNOW ME Warm. Brutal. Brilliant. This is the future of horror literature -- John Harris Dunning, author of TUMULT Imagine an epic landscape between valley and mountain; imagine a group of lost children and their struggle to survive; imagine an intricate plot like a compelling nightmare. That's Nowhere Burning by the amazing Catriona Ward -- Greg Mosse, author of MURDER AT BUNTING MANOR
