Bless the Child Reviews

– Kirkus Review

“Spine-tingling.  The suspense, which rivals the best of Stephen King, builds until… the final, chilling conclusion.”

–West Coast Review of Books

“This big, lovely, frightening book makes that cult down in Texas seem like a pillow fight in a nunnery. It scared the pants off me.  Cathy Cash Spellman has written her best pulse-stopping novel, one for the haunted heart in all of us.  The plot is real and immediate, the characters full blooded (in every sense of the word) and the atmosphere she builds around them is as brooding as the dark mid-winter – she even knows when to bring in a laugh to temper the ice.  Once you start to read Bless the Child, I dare you to put it down.  I couldn’t.”

– Rod McKuen

“The centre of the struggle is a child who is foretold to possess at a given moment the ultimate physical symbols of good and evil.  The climax of the story… astonishing…”

– Philip Burton

“Spellman truly knows how to cast a spell.  Bless the Child is superbly written – a super tale with a unique slant on the supernatural that outdoes Ann Rice at every twist and turn.  I guarantee it’ll grab you and make your neck hairs bristle.”

– Gerald A. Browne, 11 Harrowhouse, Stone 588

“The classic literary and theological theme of Good versus Evil in the universe is given a new twist in this spine-tingling suspense novel. The suspense which rivals the best of Stephen King, builds until the day of the final, chilling conclusion.  If there’s such a thing as a guaranteed bestseller, this book is it.”

– West Coast Review of Books
