William Friend lives in Hertfordshire with his partner. This is his debut.
"""Let Him In is a feast of a novel. It takes hold in the first pages and builds into something wonderful and terrible that refuses to let go even after you close the book. This is one you won't want to miss."" -- Darcy Coates, USA Today bestselling author ""Fans of literary horror will be absolutely captivated... I found it almost impossible to put down."" -- Horror Magazine ""Great fun... the suspense slips its slow coils around you."" -- The Daily Mail ""Mercurial, heartbreaking, and almost unbearably creepy, Let Him In is spider legs across your neck, a snake caressing your ankles, a shadow outside your bedroom at midnight. If you like the twisting, perspective-based horrors of Catriona Ward or Shirley Jackson, you'll definitely want to accept this book's invitation"" -- Nat Cassidy, author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror and Nestlings ""The best writing is neither plot- nor character-driven, but propelled by emotion, and emotions flow fast and deep in William Friend's Let Him In. A haunting tale about generations of loss within a single, sinister house, Friend's exceptional debut expertly intertwines the real and the imaginary with chilling effect. The writing itself is sublime, forcing the reader not to skip a single word, even as those words slowly crystalize into an ever-increasing sense of dread. This is an emotionally raw, heart-wrenching story that will stay with me for quite some time."" -- Carter Wilson, USA Today bestselling author of Mister Tender's Girl"
