Description
The Times Thriller of the Month
Observer Thriller of the Month
Guardian '2021 In Books' pick
'The buzz is real... I haven't read anything this exciting since Gone Girl' - STEPHEN KING
'A dark, audacious highwire act of a novel' - Guardian
This is the story of a murderer. A stolen child. Revenge. This is the story of Ted, who lives with his young daughter Lauren and his cat Olivia in an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street.
All these things are true. And yet some of them are lies. An unspeakable secret binds the family together, and when a new neighbour moves in next door, the truth may destroy them all. Because there's something buried in the dark forest at the end of Needless Street. 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.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Reviews describe The Last House on Needless Street as an extraordinary thriller with gothic horror elements. It's praised for its sinister and twisty narrative, culminating in a striking finale. Compared to works like Psycho and The Shining, yet ambitious like Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, the book offers horror with integrity. It's celebrated for its complex, layered storytelling that keeps readers enthralled until the very end.
