''FULL OF SUPERB, AND SUSTAINED, TENSION AND HEAVY DOSES OF FOLKLORE AND EERIE HISTORY'' New York Times''A HAUNTING SUSPENSE NOVEL THAT READERS WILL NOT SOON FORGET'' Library JournalUnbearably tense, utterly propulsive, and studded with folklore and horror, Something in the Walls is perfect for anyone who loves Midsommar and The Haunting of Hill House.SHE''S LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH, BUT SOMETHING ELSE IS STARING BACK.Newly-trained child psychologist Mina has little experience. In a field full of experts, she''s been unable to find work, instead aimlessly spending her days stuck in the stifling heat wave sweeping across Britain. So it feels like a welcome reprieve when journalist Sam Hunter approaches her with a proposition. Alice Webber is a thirteen-year-old girl who claims she''s being haunted by a witch. Living with her family in the remote Cornish village of Banathel, Alice''s symptoms are increasingly disturbing. Taking this job will give Mina some experience; Sam will get the scoop of a lifetime; and Alice will get better, Mina is sure of it. But as Alice''s behaviour becomes increasingly inexplicable and intense, the dark cracks in Banathel begin to show. The village has a deep history of superstition and witchcraft. They believe there is evil in the world, and they have ways of . . . dealing with it. Mina is desperate to understand how deep their sinister traditions go - and how her own past may be the biggest threat of all.''A taut tale that chillingly intertwines psychological and supernatural suspense'' Kirkus''A deliciously creepy and twisty chiller that fans of The Conjuring and Stephen King will love'' Bestselling author Mark Edwards''Pearce provides visceral descriptions of people and places and smells and sounds to create a world where no one can trust their senses.
