Part ghost story, part social-inequality satire [with] <b>genuine paper jump-scares</b>

GUARDIAN

Se alle

Tightly plotted and well written [...] A <b>gripping page-turner</b> with<b> intriguing characters</b> and <b>genuinely creepy</b> moments

DAILY MIRROR

<b>Whip-smart</b>, <b>creepy as hell</b>, and <b>masterfully plotted</b>, <i>Hidden Pictures</i> is the best new thriller I've read in years. Destined to be <b>a classic of the genre</b>

- RANSOM RIGGS, AUTHOR OF MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN

A disturbing household secret has far-reaching consequences in this <b>dark, unusual ghost story </b>. . . Rekulak does a great job with character development: Mallory, who narrates in the first person, has an engaging voice; the Maxwells' slightly overbearing parenting style and passive-aggressive quips feel very familiar; and Teddy is so three-dimensional that he sometimes feels like a real child. It's <b>almost enough to make a person believe in ghosts</b>

KIRKUS REVIEWS

So <b>spooky</b>

BUZZFEED

<i>Hidden Pictures</i> isn't a ghost story, it's a scalpel that slices into our smug sense of self-satisfaction so deeply it hits bone. A <b>perfect summer thriller </b>complete with vengeful spirits, class warfare, and it even has pictures. What more could you want?

- GRADY HENDRIX, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

One of the <b>best and most inventive ghost stories</b> I've read in years. The damaged but still fighting Mallory Quinn stole my heart. It's a <b>beautiful dark rush of a novel</b>. I'm already excited to read it again

- JOE HILL, AUTHOR OF THE FIREMAN

A <b>gripping </b>supernatural thriller
