"I loved Mirrorland. It's dark and devious, a neo-gothic featuring twin sisters and a deeply frightening old dark house. Beautifully written and plotted with a watchmaker's precision." -Stephen King "In this unsettling, labyrinthine tale, it is hard at first to tell who the villain is-or even how many villains there are in a family with a great deal to hide. The book unlocks its mysteries slowly, twisting the knife a little deeper with each revelation." -Sarah Lyall, The New York Times Book Review "An unnerving thriller. . . . Fantasy and reality intermingle when a twin returns to her childhood home to search for her estranged sister. As Cat roams the creepy house, memories of an imaginary world the twins created spring to life." -People Magazine "Fans of twist-filled thrillers, look no further than Johnstone's tale of estranged twins who invented their own dark and imaginary world." -E! News "It's hard to believe that this is Johnstone's first novel. It's slick and accomplished and drips with Gothic suspense, but never swings into melodrama. This is a writer to watch." -Globe and Mail "Johnstone has plenty of tricks up her sleeve in this suspenseful tale of betrayal and revenge, memory and imagination, and the thin line between love and hate." -Business Insider "Enthralling . . . a dark, twisting thriller that explores the pitch-black corners of people's minds; how good and bad, love and hate, terror and joy can co-exist; and how childhood memories can be rewritten with time as the lines between imagination and reality are blurred. Fans of Gillian Flynn's creeping dread and Liane Moriarty's nuanced morality and complex relationships should love this book." -Kirkus Reviews "Johnstone's debut had me flying through the pages while also wanting to sink into her gorgeous writing. Paired with twists and turns I didn't see coming, readers will certainly be in for tons of surprises." -Buzzfeed "This ambitious blend of psychological suspense and horror casts a powerful light on the liberating power of imagination." -Publishers Weekly "Melds intricate family dynamics into a gripping mystery with the undercurrent of a gothic novel." -Oline Gogdill, Shelf Awareness "Johnstone pulls out all the stops in creating an atmospheric mystery." -The Big Thrill "An inherently riveting and compulsive page-turning suspense thriller about the power of imagination and the price of freedom." -Midwest Book Review
