Rezension zu „McNish, C: Savannah Grey “
Inventive and menacing ... the novel's strengths are its clear, uncliched prose and its power to evoke creepy events without descending into a mere gorefest. It offers a forceful frisson and yet, unlike some books in this genre, it is possible to finish reading it without feeling sullied. -- Nicolette Jones THE SUNDAY TIMES It's remarkably good ... What's more, the intelligent, tortured Nyktomorph and its child, the ugly, ballet-dancing Horror, are two of the best villain's henchthings in any recent fantasy ... This is head and shoulders above most other teenage fantasies. SFX This is the strangest eco-warrior story I have ever read and also the most poignant.

The heroine of the story, Savannah, is a brave and intelligent girl with a mind of her own, but the creepy and brilliantly drawn Horror and Nyktomorph are the monstrous stars of this book. WRITE AWAY Haunting and powerful prose. What we have here is a genuinely creepy horror story, with elements of science fiction, fantasy and

romance, but don't worry boys, although the romance plays an important part in the plot, it is by no means the principle theme - this honour most definitely belongs to the horror. THE BOOK ZONE Almost poetic at times. Add to this a cracking story arc, a wonderful understanding of prose and a tale that's fascinating from the multiple viewpoints and it's a tale that I think is perhaps McNish's best to date.
