Review quote
A sprawling and shamelessly compulsive adventure, this is a pleasingly fast-paced read that manages to combine smoothly crafted prose and sharp details with a selection of entertainingly gruesome shocks. * SFX * A rattlingly entertaining read * STARBURST * Arachnophobes, move on. This is not for the likes of you. * THE FINANCIAL TIMES * Reads like a blockbuster movie * SciFiNow * The inclusion of events and voices from around the world add to the growing suspense and excitement and, if you aren't scared of spiders, the idea of a carnivorous swarm of eight-legged homicidal maniacs, is enough to keep you turning the pages. * The Book Beard Blog * This is destined for the bestseller lists * LOVE READING * A high-octane thriller it is great fun and a real page-turner. * DAILY EXPRESS * a thoroughly entertaining, deliciously skin-crawling horror thriller that you'll like it with or without the spiders falling on your lap as you read it * For Winter's Nights * Brace yourself for sleepless nights * SFX * It is skilfully written and entirely gripping - I think it is likely to be a best seller, and I would recommend you give it a go... * Nudge Books * The Hatching marks the debut of an exciting new talent in horror. * GINGER NUTS OF HORROR *
