The Deep is sophisticated and supple." The Daily Telegraph "Dunmore's series is written in a sensual, descriptive prose that evokes the watery kingdom with conviction. The descriptions of plunging 'sleek and fast as a seal' through turquoise water into the rich blue-purple that lies beneath are gorgeous. And they are written with great beauty, but more than that, they are written with an unmistakeable voice and a love of words."

From the author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life. But perhaps unique among fiction genres, horror involves facing those terrible realities, processing them into monsters that can bring deep eddies of understanding…all while never quite looking away from the mirror. Sure, horror provides an escape from life just as fantasy and science fiction do. Reading fictional horror can seem like overkill when the actual world is dripping with it.

I was also very fortunate that since the last major biography of Churchill, no fewer than forty-one sets of papers have been deposited at the Churchill Archives in Churchill College, Cambridge. He wrote down everything Churchill said, so we've got a fantastic cornucopia of new stuff: Churchill's hopes, fears, apercus, and jokes, every Tuesday of the Second World War. The king had lunch every Tuesday of the Second World War with Churchill, who trusted him with everything: the nuclear secrets, the Ultra decrypts, and so on. The queen allowed me to be the first Churchill biographer to use her father's diaries.

A snooze fest, it was like a fever dream like what the hell was this? 5 years it took for her to write this book.
