'F.G. Cottam's complex, tautly atmospheric thriller delivers plenty of chills ... the perfect dark winter night yarn' -- Daily Mail 20081031 'Beautifully written and highly engaging' -- Daily Mirror 20081031 'A terrifying encounter with manifest evil ... chilling novel ... His adrenaline-charged prose is drawn tight with suspense' -- James Urquhart, Financial Times on THE HOUSE OF LOST SOULS 20080301 'Full of interest and not a little tension ... (Cottam) knows a lot more about good writing than his supposedly more upmarket competitors' -- Guardian 20081129 'A very good read ... the characters are convincing, the settings authentic and it is well paced, with room for slow menace as well as hectic action' -- Historical Novels Review 20081101 'Just the thing for a dark, cold January night: a supernatural spine-chiller and romantic heart-warmer.' -- Saga 20081101 'A beautifully-written, superior supernatural thriller, Dark Echo dons the mantle of past great British adventure writers.

Another auspicious debut.' -- Peter Guttridge on THE HOUSE OF LOST SOULS 20080121
