A rich feast of a volume. No one knows more about the myths, tales and large dollops of art and culture which go into the shaping of our imagination -- Lisa Appignanesi * Independent, Books of the Year *
No Go the Bogeyman is a study of terror. It is not a book for the faint-hearted or the intellectually fragile... A fascinating and disturbing book * Sunday Telegraph *
This is a writer with power to change your imagination... Startling and shocking and delightful, No Go the Bogeyman is a treasure trove of stories, an indispensible reference work, a compendium of cultural images * Independent *
Warner is a wonderful storyteller... Her range of references is startling... but she keeps her head and treads nimbly through, following the thread of her argument... with humane learning, wit and ease -- Gillian Beer * Daily Telegraph *
