‘A wonderfully witty, ghostly and entertaining read, made all the better for Julie Verhoeven’s haunting illustrations.’

- The Idler magazine

‘ a fearsome but funny, perfectly metrical gothic tale of dynasty, death, revenge and hope…Fantastic word play, lots of gruesome, lovely morals.’  

–Michael Rosen
