Industry Reviews
Praise for THE ASH HOUSE:

'An unexpected - and pleasing - combination of propitious and disquieting.' -KIRKUS REVIEWS

'Walker's immersive story slowly reveals its secrets, using tension as a lever to tip the reader deep into the Ash House's mysteries.' -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

'The book has allegorical chill that settles slowly, like damp seeping in . . . leaving readers with a feeling of ambiguous unease that may stir for a long time in the back of their minds like the after-effects of a nightmare.' - THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
