review 1: Genuinely creepy from page one, Simon Bestwick racks up the tension as the narrative grabs hold and won't let go. What distinguishes The Faceless from many horror books is the creation of fully rounded, three dimensional characters. This is the heart if The Faceless, telling the stories of real people trapped in a nightmare that the reader can care about. I loved the strong setting too, vividly yet subtly painted with a filmic quality. This book has all the hallmarks of a writer confident in his genre, knowing exactly what the reader wants in a well-written and exciting horror novel. I look forward to more work by Mr Bestwick
review 2: After reading this it came as no surprise at all to find out that Simon Bestwick has been nominated for awards for his writing... more, this is without a doubt a perfect example of British horror at it’s best, stark, harsh, vicious and creepy as hell. I started to read this in the morning of a day off which turned out to be a wise move as I just could not tear myself away until I’d finished it. Can not recommend highly enough. Bestwick is a real force to be reckoned with in horror writing. less
