"FIENDISH DEEDS hits the ground running with a feisty protagonist, unlikely allies, and a sinister adversary as it introduces a grand adventure touched with mystery, action, horror, and the barest hint of romance."

"Bracegirdle (his real name) is a witty, intelligent voice that reads like a not so bloodless Lemony Snicket."

Mirror

"A new head rises from the eyeball-strewn swamps of children’s horror..."

Quill and Quire

"Naming his lead character Joy and presenting her as anything but - a child who's more comfortable with the gothic than the gleeful, the weathered old than the shiny new, the horror than the happy - was a stroke of genius."

The Montreal Gazette

Reader reviews from the Amazon Vine™ program:

“Cast aside any preconceived notions you might have about this remarkable book because they are undoubtedly mistaken!”

“My daughter loved it. She is 12 years old and was fully engaged and fiendishly entertained.”

“P.J. Bracegirdle creates a world where the sunny, safety of the suburbs and the things that go bump in the night collide in a brilliant mix of chills and tongue-in-cheek humor...”

“The brilliance of this story is in sharp, accurate prose (often infused with delightfully dry wit) and a masterful sense of creepiness (I actually got shivers at the very end).”

“Just as I suspected it would, The Joy of Spooking: Fiendish Deeds has earned a place on my list of all time favorites.”
