There's a great deal to enjoy in this book and the series seems set to provide lots more. Teen horror fans are going to love it.
A relentless and gruesome thrill ride The Dead marks out David Gatward as one to watch in Young Adult Horror.
Looking for chills, spine tingling weirdness, and gut-wrenching gore? Well, this book will hit the spot.
A weekend spent in the company of The Dead is a weekend spent well.
'...perfect for teens looking to try a good old-fashioned horror novel...'
Horror for kids has a compelling, and very twisted, new voice.
A racing read
Not quite like any other horror novel I've read before ... SO much fun
Packs a mean punch ... Equal parts terror, splatter and fun ... a great read
A gruesome, horrifically fun way to spend your evening
Readers ... will lap up its blend of grisly post-Hellraiser body horror, pacey narrative and wicked streak of black humour ... horror for kids has a compelling and very twisted new voice
