The Devil Walks |
Anne Fine is one of our best writers for young people. Here she moves into M.R. James territory with a tale of obsession and possession. Daniel has lived a reclusive childhood with only his mother as his companion. The arrival of Dr Marlow changes everything and Daniel finds himself facing some very dark secrets. Horror can be difficult to achieve, but Fine succeeds. A slow starter, this is a gripping read.
