About the book

The first book in an imaginative supernatural thriller series featuring freelance exorcist Felix Castor, from the bestselling author of The Girl With All the Gifts . "A funny, frightening, thoroughly absorbing thriller set in an alternative London where ghosts and other supernatural things go bump in the night—and day." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist, and London is his stomping ground. It may seem like a good ghostbuster can charge what he likes and enjoy a hell of a lifestyle, but there's a risk: sooner or later he's going to take on a spirit that's too strong for him.
