Fellside was incredibly different to Carey's previous novel, 'The Girl With All the Gifts'. This was excellent as the two can hardly be compared. But through it all, Carey's writing shines through, clear and brilliant.

Extended review to come, but despite the premise of this story not grabbing me quite as much as I would have liked, the writing carried me through and ensured I enjoyed it. It was a curious mix of modern horror and the Victorian Gothic which I found quite intriguing, with characters that were both unrelentingly broken, but fascinating as a whole.
