The Godsend by Bernard Taylor

4.0

One of the novels from the “evil child” craze of the 1970s. Even from the perspective of that era, it probably didn’t offer anything new, and certainly for a 21st century reader it’s very familiar territory. Nevertheless, its creepiness is very well paced, the narrator’s fear and helplessness are palpable, and the plot, though straightforward, doesn’t disappoint.
