The Waiting Room

Reviews / Votes

Human passions are always at the root of Cottam's hauntings, and his skill is to tease out a complex tapestry of explanation, somethings stretching over decades. * <i>Financial Times</i> on THE WAITING ROOM * Another spine-chilling treat from F G Cottam . . . this book is so well written, and with such rich vocabulary, that it transports you to the place it is talking about and you get the sensation that you are watching the action with your own eyes . . . I can't recommend it to you highly enough * eurocrime.co.uk on THE WAITING ROOM * 'The writing is rich and vivid and every page is a treat for the imagination.' * <i>The Bookbag</i> * 'A treasure trove of dark dreams and sinister socery.' * <i>The Times</i> on THE MAGDALENA CURSE * F.G. Cottam has crafted a superb and tautly told tale . . . A perfect ghost story * <i>The Times</i> on DARK ECHO * 'F.G. Cottam's complex, tautly atmospheric thriller delivers plenty of chills . . . the perfect dark winter night yarn' * <i>Daily Mail</i> on DARK ECHO * 'Beautifully written and highly engaging' * <i>Daily Mirror</i> on DARK ECHO * A terrifying encounter with manifest evil . . . chilling novel . . . His adrenaline-charged prose is drawn tight with suspense * James Urquhart, <i>Financial Times</i> on THE HOUSE OF LOST SOULS * 'Full of interest and not a little tension . . .
