The Fog

Reviews

‘A mind-bending gut punch of a novel. I had my heart in my mouth the entire time I was reading!’ ‘The Fog is a haunting debut that delves into the human psyche and our ability to cope when pushed to extremes. Author Brooke Hardwick intertwines a harsh, remote island with a mysterious history and mythology to create a challenging environment which echoes the inner turmoil of the characters. This dark, eerie read will keep you on edge until the very last page.’ ‘The Fog skilfully plays with memory and unreliability amongst a group of troubled writers at a lonely clifftop retreat. The claustrophobic retreat is a compelling context, combined with a visceral sense of place. I raced through this enigmatic and unsettling debut.’ ‘The Fog is a beautifully written, utterly absorbing and atmospheric thriller. I tore through it.’ ‘Suffused with a creeping sense of dread and an eclectic cast of characters, The Fog is an accomplished debut that draws deeply on its evocative setting to pull the reader into a dark secret. 'This gothic thriller about control and manipulation is deeply unsettling and eerie in the best possible way, with atmosphere to spare, assured writing and a remote island setting that's a character in its own right.' 'In this smouldering novel, past and present collide as secrets are unlocked and dangers lurk around every corner. Brooke Hardwick is a master of tension and suspense.’ ‘The Fog is a disorientating Gothic novel and an intense psychological thriller with a startling conclusion.’  Expand reviews
