AMAZING publicity to let me learn how a bestseller was born.
‘Beautifully written, it enthrals from first page to last when its secrets are revealed and the reader is left literally gasping for breath. This unsettling yet deeply moving novel is a modern classic, and a major contender for book of the year’ – Sunday Express
‘I think although it’s about a strange story, it has elements in it everyone can relate to. How we process the past, the stories we tell ourselves to get through life, kindness in the face of suffering.’ – Catriona Ward, Camden New Journal Review
‘You think you know what's inside the last house on Needless Street. You think you've read this story before. But you're wrong. In the dark forest at the end of Needless Street, something lies buried. But it's not what you think... From the multiple award-winning author of Little Eve and Rawblood, this extraordinary tale will thrill and move readers. A work of incredible imagination and heartbreaking beauty’ – Blackwell’s Bookshop
‘It would have been simple for Catriona Ward to slip into the trap of a typical serial killer book, but instead she has created a rare work of fiction that explores the human will to endure – no matter the cost. 9/10’ – The Independent
Finally, LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET will be published by Tor Macmillan in the US on September 28th, with an extensive publicity and marketing campaign and we look forward to sharing more details in due course.
