"While the story shares some DNA with the classic movie Poltergeist, Newman has his own story to tell, in his own way, and he has some fine surprises in store for his unsuspecting readers. Nicely done." - Booklist "Kim Newman gets inside your head like pollen off a field of wildflowers; the pleasant idyllic turns full of suffocating dread. Thoroughly enjoyable, master storytelling." - Lauren Beukes, bestselling author of "The Shining Girls" "Some very good surprises in store for his unsuspecting readers. Nicely done." - Booklist

Immersive, claustrophobic and utterly wonderful, An English Ghost Story tells the story of the Naremores, a dysfunctional British nuclear family, who seek to start a new life away from the city in the sleepy Somerset countryside. But when their perfect new house begins to turn on them, the Naremores find themselves trapped in a living hell, one that will threaten to destroy them from the inside out. - Jackson, The Book Grocer
