Trade Review

‘Malerman’s story takes flight in some head-splitting directions’ NEW YORK TIMES

PRAISE FOR BIRD BOX:

‘This completely compelling novel contains a thousand subtle touches but no mere flourishes – it is so well, so efficiently, so directly written I read it with real admiration’ PETER STRAUB

‘It’s so original, horrific, nightmarish, but with the addition of such dramatic and engrossing character and plot development that I simply had to read it all in one sitting’ MURIEL GRAY

'Josh Malerman's Bird Box will take its place amongst the best and most original tales of survival. Uniquely disturbing, exceptionally compelling and beautifully written, I defy anyone not to read it in one sitting' SARAH PINBOROUGH

‘A book that demands to be read in a single sitting, and through the cracks between one's fingers. There has never been a horror story quite like this. Josh Malerman truly delivers’ HUGH HOWEY (bestselling author of WOOL)
