So I've just spent the last week in Great Yarmouth and what do I choose as my holiday read? 'The Devil Walks' by Anne Fine! A terrifying gothic novel, reminiscent of a Bronte or Shelley. The scary country house is there with it's very own miniscule doll's house model. There is madness, neglect and plain evil in this book and it hooked me from the outset. I think I needed the heat of the sun on the beach to stop me shivering! A great read, but atmospheric and a traditional scary tale. Highly recommended.
