Families. Sometimes they're a bloody nightmare ...

Life with the Radleys: Radio 4, dinner parties with the Bishopthorpe neighbours and self-denial. Loads of self-denial. But all hell is about to break loose.

When teenage daughter Clara gets attacked on the way home from a party, she and her brother Rowan finally discover why they can't sleep, can't eat a Thai salad without fear of asphyxiation, and can't go outside unless they're smothered in Factor 50.

With a visit from their lethally louche Uncle Will and an increasingly suspicious police force, life in Bishopthorpe is about to change. Drastically.

Matt Haig crafts an addictive narrative that blends insight and fright with a unique take on the vampire myth. The writing style is praised for its engaging, compact chapters, and the blend of English eccentricity adds a charming touch. Reviewers highlight the book's humour, originality, and its portrayal of marriage, making it a highly recommended and enjoyable read.
