'I absolutely loved A Good House for Children and was gripped right from the start. A dark and haunting read' - Lucie McKnight Hardy, author of Water Shall Refuse Them 'I absolutely loved this claustrophobic and chilling story. Beautifully written with skilfully developed characters, Collins explores the themes of motherhood and identity. As the story builds, so does a pervasive sense of menace and looming tragedy, making it impossible to put down.' - Rebecca Netley, author of The Whistling 'A Good House for Children is a wonderfully dark fable, filled with subtle dread. Kate Collins mixes folklore and the gothic in a perceptive exploration of the terrors of motherhood and the ravages of grief. It's a novel filled with quiet horror, and the Reeve is a wonderful creation, elegant and haunted - a perfect family home which casts and long and deadly shadow.' - Amanda Mason, author of The Hiding Place 'Collins intertwines the tales of Orla and Lydia, who have each lived in the Reeve: a house subject to haunting, but also a place where boundaries blur .

between different times, but also of the sense of reality and the other, and ultimately, the edge of sanity itself. A beautifully written, creepy tale reminiscent of Shirley Jackson.' - Alison Littlewood, author of Mistletoe and The Hidden People 'A chilling, unsettling read that drew me in and stayed with me long after I had finished it . Kate Collins knows exactly how much to show us and how much to leave to our imaginations. A perspective, accomplished ghost story that managed to be both tender and truly terrifying.' - Emily Critchley, author of One Puzzling Afternoon.
