The Library at Hellebore
A peculiar mix of lyricism and brutality. The pages brim with snark and extreme violence ... Khaw keeps readers hooked with the strange allure of Hellebore itself ... This is a story where there is never any solid ground, and that purposeful confusion deliciously intensifies the novel’s anxiety-inducing atmosphere ... A treat for horror fans.
