" [This] slow-burning work turns into a quickly moving page turner, morphing into ^ a brilliant, classical, psychological horror story that sticks to and gnaws at the bones.

"Lennon displays an expert ability to fracture his narrator's irón resolve with a steady series of disquieting revelations." —Bool^orum
"It's only natural for novels to portray this chaotic moment in history, but few will tackle that task with the complexity and eeriness of \Castle\. A virtuoso performance." —The Dallas Morning News
