Praise for the Dread Wood series:
Brilliantly creepy fun for young horror fans, with an unexpectedly moving ending. - iNews
Jennifer Killick's talent for horror and humour is blended brilliantly here as the spiky dialogue, unstoppable pace and genuinely menacing atmosphere build to a tremendous climax- Daily Mail
Deliciously scary and hilarious comedy-horror, perfectly pitched for eight-plus.
The Guardian
This is Killick's best book yet; think 'The Breakfast Club' meets 'Stranger Things', making great use of her talent for comic dialogue and her astute eye for just the right kind of scary for this age group. - Editor's Choice, The Bookseller
After her last two books (the fantastically creepy Crater Lake and Crater Lake: Evolution), Jennifer has, yet again, upped the level of stylishly slick, sinister storylines and honed her clever range of shock / comedy techniques - from the laugh-out-loud, nose-snortingly funny moments, to the cheekily edgy asides, to the poignant warm-hearted, gentle, fun scenes she does so well.

Not for the faint-hearted, this edge-of-seat horror is hard to put down, with many chapters ending on a cliff-hanger. But it's the humanity and backstories that stay with you when the trauma ends. BookTrust (Book of the Day, April 13th 2022)
