Hey Stuart, I really enjoyed your book, one of the best ive read in recent years. After finishing the book, i am still wondering why Evelyn left the boy in the cave all those years ago. what was her thinking other than the fact that she could get away with it? Im afraid i missed something, but i cant come up with a reason for why she would just leave him for dead. again, thank you for writing a fantastic book.

(view spoiler)[Hey Amir - she did it because she could, because she knew she'd get away with it, and because she wanted to know how it felt. She did an an absolutely horrible thing, because she was curious. It's monstrous. Can you do me a favour, and mark up your question as a spoiler? I don't want other people accidentally stumbling on it. Cheers mate. (hide spoiler)]

Hello, I've just finished reading the seven deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and I absolutely loved it, I think it might become one of my favourites of all times! The ending left me amazed by how complicated the plot is. I would have never expected, for example, Evelyn not being who I thought she was. Did you have a clear idea of how everything would turn out from the beginning? If you did, I admire your inventiveness!

Just wanted to say "Stuart, you rock!" The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle truly screwed with my mind, but I loved it so much that it has become one of my favourite reads of all time. It must have been hard to keep it all straight in your head. Lots of diagrams and charts? Tell me, was the setting really Hell or Limbo and Aidan and Anna escaped to Heaven?
