Quotes

"Want a good English ghost story to read by the fire on a cold winter night? [The White Devil] gathers you in lovingly, then takes you in a strangler's grip with its escalating horrors."


- Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly (2011 Pop Culture Favorites)
"Demonic possession, the provocative topic of Justin Evans's first novel, A Good and Happy Child, takes on a literary twist and a sexual jolt in The White Devil. . . . Evans heaps an assortment of gothic embellishments onto this coming-of-age narrative."


- New York Times Book Review
"Chilling-to-the-bone. . . . Deliciously frightening, The White Devil is a literary scare story in an earlier tradition before vampires ruled the day, or at least the genre."


- New York Daily News
"[An] ingenious and creepy supernatural thriller, will give you chills even in the summer heat. Evans has fused a literary mystery, sinister ghost story and Gothic romance with the story of a boy's intellectual and sexual awakening."


- Kansas City Star
"Evans ratchets up the suspense at an expert pace. . . . The White Devil [is] an authentic page-turner that may well be devoured in one sitting."


- Shelf Awareness
"[An] ingenious and creepy supernatural thriller, will give you chills even in the summer heat. Evans has fused a literary mystery, sinister ghost story and Gothic romance with the story of a boy's intellectual and sexual awakening."


- The Tuscon Citizen
"[A] crackling literary mystery. . . . Harrow itself contains Shirley Jackson levels of gloomy passages and dark secrets. Smart, scary, sexy, and gorgeously written to boot."


- Booklist (starred review)
"Gripping. . . . [A] disturbing gothic thriller."


- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The White Devil is part ghost story, part murder mystery, part coming-of-age tale, part romance. It's a delightful cocktail: Justin Evans gets the balance just right. His writing is crisp, his storytelling vigorous, his sense of the uncanny pitch perfect.
And he's written a wonderfully creepy book."


- Scott Smith, author of A Simple Plan and The Ruins
"The White Devil is an intelligent, bristling ghost story with a stunning sense of place, a uniquely frightful spirit, and a band of absolutely charming heroes-Byronic and otherwise. You'll dread reaching the end-while flipping the pages furiously."


- Gillian Flynn, author of Sharp Objects and Dark Places
"The White Devil is a page-turning tour de force. Both a thoughtful and learned homage to the ghost story, and a clever and compelling rethinking of the genre, this is an amazing, frightening, and believable novel. I loved it."


- David Liss, author of The Devil's Company
