Strange noises in the apartment. Impulsive behaviour. Intense dreams. It wasn't like everything went wrong all at once. Shoplifting. Fighting. Blackouts. There must be a reasonable explanation for all this. 'It will scare the pants off you. It is a perfect horror novel.' Paul Tremblay 'A short, sharp shocker . . . Relentlessly creepy.' Sunday Times 'Deeply scary.' The Times 'Terrifying.'Daily Mail 'Sinister.'Time Out

Rezensionen

Stunning.

This ambiguous balancing of the psychological and supernatural creates just the right amount of narrative tension to keep the reader turning pages... Gran demonstrates that an urbane and subtle approach to ideas more often treated with hysteria and flash can still produce a gripping contemporary tale of terror.

A perfectly noirish tale of madness and love. Author Sara Gran writes with scalpel-like clarity, expertly blending tones to create a new kind of psychological thriller. I loved this book. Days after finishing it, it has not left my mind.

Sara Gran's COME CLOSER will have you questioning Amanda's reality and mind along with your own, and it will scare the pants off you. It is a perfect horror novel.

Sara Gran has written an intelligent horror story, a literary creepshow that works its magic subtly and well. It's a marvel of restraint and taste, and still it worms its way under your skin and stays there.

One of the signal works of contemporary female horror... because Gran manages to locate in her heroine's anguished sexuality a kind of terror that the paranormal romancers routinely (and lucratively) deny, the uneasy sense that the forces unleashed inside her might be uncontrollable - rampant, voracious, indifferent to natural limits and not unambiguously benign.

About as twisted as they come.
