“One of the ugliest and scariest novels I've ever read! Pure old fashioned horror with a realistic, satiric twist. What would really happen to a modern society if suddenly the dead came back to life? In this book, they do, rotting and stinking they rise from their graves and what do they want? To come home!
Not only a horrific tale of undead with no rest, but a wrenching tale of love. What would YOU be capable of doing to see a breath of life in your beloved dead one? In Lindquists book the dead walk and the living do unspeakable things to protect them and bring them home, in the hopes that they might regain their humanity once more. Read it!”

“Excellent humour and a higly entertaining tale! A lady I know said it's EXACTLY like what happened to her dad (she's also of East European origins). A must read!”

“I absolutely could NOT stop reading this book. Great tale, believable characters, and a genuine feeling of walking down the streets in Barcelona of the 1300. I wish it was longer!”

“A book about a book, and what a book! A mysterious book discovered at a dark, secret place, a mystery unfolding slowly, until the entire story in all it's wonderful pain is exposed. Had to love it, and couldn't put it down!”
