"A compelling, immersive, and intense time-slip horror novel with sympathetic characters that readers actively root for. The tale reads like The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle if it were written by Sarah Pinborough."

Library Journal

«“The writing is beautiful and an absolute pleasure to read, with the transition from modern renal ward to Victorian squalor (or reality to Otherworld) being almost tangible.”»

The Catbox

"I’m getting really close to calling the race for best British genre novelist of the 21st century (thus far) for Catherine Cavendish, and the author’s new novel In Darkness, Shadows Breathe just might be her best yet."

iHorror

"The story of female resilience at the heart of this well-constructed gothic tale is sure to please fans of women-driven horror."

Publishers Weekly

"[...]if there is a crown of queen of gothic horror, [Catherine Cavendish] should be wearing it."

Modern Horrors

"In Darkness, Shadows Breathe is a good way to start 2021, because it’s a novel centering around recovery, something the world can relate to right now. Cavendish shines in the ways she’s connected to the story, making herself vulnerable to not only her readers, but to the ghosts that haunt her."

Aiden Merchant

"A story that creeps up and drags you in until you are almost as scared as the characters you are reading about. Magnificently, dark, eerie and all-consuming in it’s telling. A Gothic tale for a dark night, or not! Depends how easily scared you are really"
