About the Book

Fleeing expulsion and the death of a close friend, Andrew Taylor is sent to spend his final year at the prestigious public school Harrow. It is an eccentric place, a rambling ancient building filled with the sons of the rich and famous. The other pupils notice Andrew's striking resemblance to Lord Byron, a former pupil of Harrow - and then the trouble begins. Andrew senses a malevolent presence, and when a classmate dies, the haunting becomes all too real. When another classmate falls ill, and Andrew discovers old letters hidden in a bricked-up basement, he must uncover a secret history - before it is too late.

Review :
"[An] ingenious and creepy supernatural thriller, will give you chills even in the summer heat. Evans has fused a literary mystery, sinister ghost story and Gothic romance with the story of a boy's intellectual and sexual awakening."--"The Tuscon Citizen" "Want a good English ghost story to read by the fire on a cold winter night? ["The White Devil"] gathers you in lovingly, then takes you in a strangler's grip with its escalating horrors."--Stephen King, "Entertainment Weekly" (2011 Pop Culture Favorites) ""The White Devil" is a page-turning tour de force. Both a thoughtful and learned homage to the ghost story, and a clever and compelling rethinking of the genre, this is an amazing, frightening, and believable novel. I loved it."--David Liss, author of "The Devil's Company" ""The White Devil" is an intelligent, bristling ghost story with a stunning sense of place, a uniquely frightful spirit, and a band of absolutely charming heroes--Byronic and otherwise. You'll dread reaching the end-while flipping the pages furiously."--Gillian Flynn, author of "Sharp Objects" and "Dark Places" ""The White Devil" is part ghost story, part murder mystery, part coming-of-age tale, part romance. It's a delightful cocktail. Justin Evans' 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" "[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) "Chilling-to-the-bone. . . . Deliciously frightening, "The White Devil" is a literary scare story in an earlier tradition before vampires ruled the day, or at least the genre."--"New York Daily News" "Demonic possession, the provocative topic of Justin Evans's first novel, "A Good and Happy Child", takes on a literary twist and a sexual jolt in "The White Devil". . . . Evans heaps an assortment of gothic embellishments onto this coming-of-age narrative."--"New York Times Book Review" "Evans ratchets up the suspense at an expert pace. . . . "The White Devil" [is] an authentic page-turner that may well be devoured in one sitting."--"Shelf Awareness" "Gripping. . . . [A] disturbing gothic thriller."--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)
