"[A] satisfying, suspenseful first novel. . . . Young George's intriguing story unbalances the reader right up to the book's deliciously chilling end." - People, on A Good and Happy Child

You'll dread reaching the end-while flipping the pages furiously." - Gillian Flynn, author of Sharp Objects and Dark Places
"[A] crackling literary mystery. . . . Harrow itself contains Shirley Jackson levels of gloomy passages and dark secrets. Smart, scary, sexy, and gorgeously written to boot." - Booklist (starred review)

"The White Devil is part ghost story, part murder mystery, part coming-of-age tale, part romance. It's a delightful cocktail: Justin Evans gets the balance just right. His writing is crisp, his storytelling vigorous, his sense of the uncanny pitch perfect. And he's written a wonderfully creepy book." - Scott Smith, author of A Simple Plan and The Ruins
