A Washington Post Best Book of 2007
Beautifully written and perfectly structured. . . . This novel is much more than The Omen for the latte generation, and Evans cleverly subverts expectations at every turn. Washington Post
In the smart and suspenseful "A Good and Happy Child," a psychological thriller in the tradition of Donna Tartt s "The Secret History" with shades of "The Exorcist," a young man reexamines his childhood memories of strange visions and erratic behavior to answer disturbing questions that continue to haunt him and his new family.
A] satisfying, suspenseful first novel. . . . Young George s intriguing story unbalances the reader right up to the book s deliciously chilling end.
People
A scary, grown-up ghost story that combines Southern gothic with more than a twist of "The Exorcist." . . . Combine s] mind-bending storytelling with excellent prose.
Portland Tribune
Think Rosemary s Baby plus . . . told in the kind of prose that mesmerizes, sweeping the reader along so fast that there s no time to ask questions.
Hartford Courant
A] dazzling debut . . . part psychological thriller, part horror story.
Chicago Tribune
Relat es] his otherworldly suspense story with the cool, calm eye of a skeptic.
