"John Evans's first horror novel "God's Gift" is a
surprising, satisfying and sure-footed plunge into
the tangled web we weave - and the age-old evil
that weaves it around us. Its richly detailed,
sinisterly sensuous prose offers a gripping
exploration of fact fiction and the grim terrors that
lie between them. Like some evil cousin of Clive
Barker, Evans gleefully takes you on a perverse
personal tour, filled with madness, sex and death,
rendered on an epic scale. It appears British
horror has found an alarming, exciting new voice."

CHRISTOPHER FOWLER, author of Roofword,  
Psychoville and The Bryant and May Series
“...a tantalizing concept."

THE BOOKSELLER

“Evans's debut novel is a contemporary
supernatural thriller, littered with loss and
sadness. His handling of character is strong and
his observation of horror is at once amusing and
troubling."

THE EXPRESS

The writing is sensual, slick and detailed; the
dialogue pacy...Evans is clearly a writer to watch."
