“Lyrical, poignant and perfectly grounded in the day-to-day lives of a beautifully evoked New England fishing town, The Very Special Dead deftly weaves together a compelling drama of social decay and personal loss and an uncanny excursion into the twilight zone that sits between the world we know and that undiscovered country from which, so they say, no traveller returns.” — John Burnside, T.S. Eliot Prize- and Forward Prize-winning author and Booker Prize judge

“A wonderful, haunting, atmospheric story that reinvents the Gothic novel for the modern world, Christian Livermore has achieved something quite unique and extraordinary in this tale of stolen lives and loves.” — Gerard Woodward, twice Booker-shortlisted author of The Jones Trilogy.
