This is the story of a serial killer. A stolen child. Revenge. Death. And an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street.
All these things are true. And yet they are all lies...
You think you know what's inside the last house on Needless Street. You think you've read this story before. That's where you're wrong.
In the dark forest at the end of Needless Street, lies something buried. But it's not what you think...

I've only read a couple of books by the author and didn't know what to expect. The Last House on Needless Street is a corker of a book. I loved the way the author blends horror, gothic fiction and a touch of literary fiction, all which work well together. This is a strange book and I haven't read anything quite like it for some time, a beautiful yet horrific read. This is one of the best books I've read so far this year. I was yanked into the book from the intense and intriguing opening lines and I couldn't put it down until I'd reached the end. This is a complex, beauty of a book the felt like reading three or four amazing books at the same time. I cannot recommend it enough.
