PRAISE FOR GEMMA AMOR


I say this with the utmost certainty: The Once Yellow House is probably my favorite work of Gemma’s to date. Not only is it a testament to her remarkable talent as one of our finest contemporary horror writers, but the book skillfully illustrates how the epistolary format remains one of the most effective sub-genres of horror. - Eric LaRocca


Full Immersion is fiercely thought-provoking endeavour.
– LoveReading


Amor writes passionately and convincingly about Magpie’s pain. The result is a bleak but powerful portrait of survival at any cost.
– Publishers Weekly


The narrative that follows walks a line between futuristic thriller, with its full-body virtual reality and potential technical dangers, and a dark fairy tale&helҬ
