When All the World Was Young: A Memoir
by
"Unreserved five-gold-star stuff - as funny as Shirley Jackson's Savages series at its best."

The Little Stranger
by
"Marvellously written (the characters!) and thickly atmospheric (good God, the shaving mirror). If Waters had written it off the back of a six-month-long du Maurier binge, I wouldn't be at all surprised."

The Dissociation Of A Personality: A Biographical Study In Abnormal Psychology
by
"Classic 'novelised' case of DID. Surprisingly clear and readable even after all this time, and the story itself is a marvel."

Flying Saucers and the Three Men
by
"Utterly demented contactee narrative from the early days of UFOlogy - the stuff of pulps and B-movies and bad dreams. Great fun."

Tales of Terror from Blackwood's Magazine
by
"In turns ridiculous and genuinely chilling. Best read with one or two e-friends, so the wisecracking can flow fast and free."

The Wind in the Rose Bush: and Other Stories of the Supernatural
by
"Refreshingly weird stories (you'll have definitely read some of these without knowing it: she's apparently very heavily anthologised) told in a refreshingly unique prose style. I'm definitely looking out for her other fiction in future."
