Great character design
Based around events of the Enfield haunting
Conjured up another hit
A great follow up to one of the best Horror films in recent years. With the main stars of the first film coming to London to authenticate a haunting in Enfield. It's genuinely creepy and disturbing that some elements are based on true events.

I love this album. The music pulses sinuously and the music envelops you. It's beautiful and haunting.
"Shooting Laser Beams" is my favorite song.

Rushed but thrilling
This is thrilling and a real page turner but it did feel rushed in places. I like the main character and found the use of the term mother quite haunting.

Sometimes the dialogue felt repetitive and was used over the top when building tension.

Having said that, I couldn't put it down and enjoyed the story.

A lovely, haunting novella. Beautifully written and just the right amount of creepy.

Superb piece of writing! I wish I could write like this... Gorgeous artwork too.

"This Spanish film is so dreamy, so poetic, so haunting. Exquisite cinematography. Possibly the finest acting by a child I’ve ever seen. You’ll never watch Frankenstein the same way again."
