Anne Washburn sinuously interweaves stories from eight original episodes... A classy Christmas – and, I suspect, far beyond – treat. * Evening Standard *This isn’t a show just for fans, but it definitely acknowledges them. It’s a loving pastiche, fully alert to the swirl of cultural inheritances that come with the show and its era... a playfully great piece of theatre about the power of imagination: about how people use storytelling, particularly science fiction, to navigate new frontiers and question society. There’s a good reason that theme tune lingers. * The Stage *A glorious exercise in sci-fi kitsch with a few smart lessons about the present... the real knockout scene is a reworking of 1961’s ‘The Bunker... basically the current battle or the soul of America distilled into a bleakly comic 15-minute playlet. * Time Out *Unsettling, dazzling and sophisticated entertainment... accomplished with enormous flair. It is sometimes frightening, sometimes spooky and occasionally funny.

Having received a grant to develop her new play, all she needs is time and space to bring her vision to life. ThenTrade ReviewScary and beautifully written, imbued with the same sense of dread and inevitability as Jackson's original, A Haunting on the Hill is quite extraordinary. It's not pastiche, not ventriloquism. It puts me strongly in mind of a singer you love covering a song by another artist. It's that song but now it's being done by someone else. Remarkable. -- NEIL GAIMAN, author of AMERICAN GODSA fitting - and frightening - homage to The Haunting of Hill House * NEW YORK TIMES *Beautifully creepy with the same claustrophobic intensity and sense of impending doom of the original, but at the same time with a great sense of progression, of the house having evolved over the years. It's so vivid, full of totemic menace and with a heart-in-your-mouth, can't-look-away frisson. -- BRIDGET COLLINS, author of THE BINDINGGenuinely sinister and beautifully written, with a real sense of depth to the folklore and theatrical inspiration. -- ROSIE ANDREWS, author of THE LEVIATHANEerily beautiful, strangely seductive, and genuinely upsetting: welcome back to Hill House. I recommend reading only in strong daylight, and never alone. -- ALIX E. HARROW, author of THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARYHill House is back and haunting as ever in this vividly imagined return to Shirley Jackson's iconic setting. Elizabeth Hand weaves eerie beauty into the genuine terror lurking in her pages, crafting some of the most striking scares I've read in years. This book gave me the best kind of nightmares. -- ANA REYES, author of THE HOUSE IN THE PINESI absolutely loved A Haunting on the Hill, which snared me with its terrifying opening and relinquished me only on the very last page. Huge boots to fill, but Elizabeth Hand rose to the challenge with her darkly complex characters and a novel dripping in atmosphere and intrigue. -- JOANNE BURN, author of THE HEMLOCK CUREA Haunting on the Hill is as unnerving and disorienting as Hill House itself, a place where evil lurks behind every door. I was completely gripped by this terrifying and original tale. -- LAURA SHEPPERSON, author of THE HEROINESA novel with all the chills of Jackson that also highlights the contemporary flavor and evocative writing of Hand. The story stays true to Jackson's vision of "Hill House" while becoming a thing of its own. Indeed, A Haunting on the Hill is strange and wonderful, a frightening foray into the supernatural that will inspire you to go back and reread the original. * WASHINGTON POST *The lines of paranoia, art, and reality are terrifyingly blurred for our group of hungry and damaged actors cloistered within the mouldering walls of Hill House. Only the brilliant Elizabeth Hand could so expertly honor Jackson's rage, wit, and vision with a 21st century twist. The old place is as creepy, disorienting, and menacing as ever. -- PAUL TREMBLAY, author of THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLDEvocative and unsettling, A Haunting on the Hill captures the essence of the original whilst offering something brand new. -- CARLY REAGON, author of THE TOLL HOUSEThere are - fittingly - echoes of the original which will satisfy fans but it is Elizabeth Hand's understanding of the folklore threaded through Jackson's work that gives this wonderfully creepy novel much of its power. The story is resolutely contemporary, the world has moved on and the events of Dr Montague's investigation are long forgotten; but Hill House remains unchanged, no more sane now than it was sixty years ago. It's a superb book, a subtle and deeply unnerving ghost story; entirely of itself and recognisably of Jackson's world. -- AMANDA MASON, author of THE WAYWARD GIRLSIf there's a writer you can trust with this formidable task, it's the wildly talented Elizabeth Hand. A Haunting on the Hill is an admirable successor to The Haunting of Hill House, alike in spirit but never trying to simply repeat what Shirley Jackson did in her classic novel. Creepy, tragic, and, yes, haunting. I tore through this novel, getting lost in the pages, drawn back into the mysteries of Hill House and enjoying every moment I was there. -- Victor LaValle, author of THE CHANGELINGA Haunting on the Hill is a fever dream of a novel, very much in the same spirit of The Haunting of Hill House, but also entirely its own entity. It's brilliantly imagined, unsettling, cloying and claustrophobic and downright terrifying. -- CRESSIDA MCLAUGHLINIf there's a spirit medium gifted enough to evoke the ghost of Shirley Jackson, it's surely Elizabeth Hand, whose startling, original body of work I've long admired. A Haunting on the Hill is not a simple act of ventriloquism, but a true marriage of minds, and I believe Ms. Jackson would have been proud to be the inspiration for this smart and chilling return to the Hill House estate. -- DAN CHAON, author of SLEEPWALKA Haunting on the Hill is absolutely captivating-a book that you'll want to climb inside and love forever, until the moment you realize it's too late to escape -- SARAH GAILEY, author of JUST LIKE HOMEA brilliant queer reimagining...Hand's work both modernizes and deepens Jackson's setting, pulling readers into the demented halls of Hill House and the minds of its denizens * BOOKPAGE *Shirley Jackson fans, rejoice! * WBEZ CHICAGO *Jackson's creation is in capable hands with Hand. * THE WEEK *Hand unnerves us by inference and restraint...it's a measure of Hand's precision and skill that we have so much fun watching[the characters] put together the pieces that doom them * MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE *Frightening * PRIMA *The short chapters, intriguing and complex characters, and beautifully written (yet sinister) descriptions make the novel an irresistible page-turner * INDEPENDENT *A Gothic treat - hugely atmospheric and lovingly written, this is a fitting follow-up to the original * HEAT *A creepy read, featuring fun-to-spot references to other horror classics * MAIL ON SUNDAY *Suspenseful and gripping . . . the short chapters, intriguing and complex characters, and beautifully written (yet sinister) descriptions make the novel an irresistible page-turner * PRESS & JOURNAL (Aberdeen) *An enjoyably atmospheric return to the world of a cult classic - a Halloween treat for fans of genre fiction, haunted-house horror, and things that go bump in the night. * DAILY EXPRESS *The unsettling atmosphere in this novel builds from the start and never disappoints. Hand deftly layers the history of the house with the past of each character and the things that haunt them, especially Holly and Amanda. Hill House is a spooky place, and Hand delves deep into its darkness and allows it to flourish in almost every chapter. * NPR *Hand has a gift for the sensuous, evocative detail, and her descriptions are often simultaneously seductive and spooky -- Kristen Roupenian * NEW YORKER * Like Hill House itself, this accomplished tribute stands alone: disturbing and unforgettable. * GUARDIAN *A suspenseful and gripping read * SCOTSMAN *The supernatural and psychological terrors of the original work are updated for the present day but echo with the resonance of the original * OPRAH DAILY *Apparitions, black hares and time warps festoon this fitting - and frightening - homage to Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, in which Hand mines the source material for structure and storytelling beats rather than relying on superficial similarities -- Editor's Choice * NEW YORK TMES BOOK REVIEW *

I highly recommend The Dark Net. * Brew & Books Review *An impressive, propulsive narrative velocity at work here * Metro *Verdict: A truly dark urban horror tale * Sci-Fi Bulletin *Simply a cracking read. It is fast paced, and left me reeling in places. I highly recommend The Dark Net * Brew & Books Review *Percy's narrative is as lean as a jaguar, and it sprints ahead with a clean, swift motion . . . Restrained yet lyrical, his prose raises his characters off the page, while making Portland more than a generic urban setting. * Locus *A lean, scary, Stephen King-infused chiller with great characters, mythology, villains and, impressively, a genre story about the dangers of technology addiction that doesn't feel like it's a dated piece of panic. * SciFiNow *The fate of the world in Percy's novel depends on the ability of a motley gang of misfits to head off the satanic forces emanating from the murkiest recesses of the internet. It's one of the best Stephen King novels not written by the master himself. * New York Times *A highly entertaining read * BookRiot.com *

Book Synopsis''A writer of fierce and vivid imagination. The Tangle, like Holdstock''s classic Mythago Wood and Catlin''s The Voorh, taps the deep resonances of the wild wood in the English soul, revering even the stones as living minds, possessed of souls and ancient memories. Visceral stuff from this promising new star of dark fantasy'' Michael MoorcockJustin Robertson''s debut novel is a trans- dimensional trip into the mysterious knot of nature; a journey into the ''brilliant darkness'' where the timeless divine spirit of the ''Tangle'' weaves its spell and all mankind''s hubris is rendered insignificant by the radically non-human force of phantom ecology. Salvation, revelation and a terrible reckoning dwell in the ancient roots ...A time travelling account of what occurs when unknowable frontiers are breached and humanity finds itself, once again, lost in the woods, THE TANGLE invites us into a grotesque world of eco-horror, echoing with the spiriTrade ReviewA fine debut from a writer of fierce and vivid imagination. The Tangle, like Holdstock's classic Mythago Wood and Catlin's The Voorh, taps the deep resonances of the wild wood in the English soul, revering even the stones as living minds, possessed of souls and ancient memories. Visceral stuff from this promising new star of dark fantasy -- Michael Moorcock'Mind-bending . . . a cross between HG Wells and HP Lovecraft . . . this creepy puzzler feels thrillingly unkempt * Metro *Veteran DJ and dance music producer Justin Robertson's debut novel is a psychedelic trip into a pandimensional heart of darkness...a wildly ambitious book; a heady mix of pulp horror, nature writing gone feral, "phantom ecology" and ruminations on the cycle of life and death. Sometimes it feels like a bizarro mash-up of Jeff Noon and Robert Macfarlane...certainly one of the more adventurous debuts you'll read this year. * SFX Magazine *A massive headf*ck of a novel, a true tangle, a chthonic entity and a classic of New Weird Fiction * David Keenan *A bold, ambitious and thrilling sci-fi folk horror that explores the ease with which deep ecology strips away all that remains of your humanity * John Higgs *Fiercely animistic. [The Tangle is] a book that vitally brings eco-horror from the future pages of sci-fi back to the present. * English Heretic blog *The Tangle is the kind of horror-SF hybrid our neurotic age deserves: grotesque as a Hogarth engraving, violent as a comic, and deeply disconcerting * The Times *
