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.”
—Entertainment Weekly (A—)
