"All the White Spaces is a heady and haunting mix of historical fiction, polar survival horror, and a meditation on gender, identity, and the enduring mysteries of the self. You won't soon forget Jonathan Morgan and his trial by ice." - Paul Tremblay

"A journey into winter, a growing sense of isolation, a battle with the elements and facing down the ghosts of the past – Ally Wilkes has taken some of my very favourite ingredients and bound them into a deliciously spooky and compulsive tale. Ideal for a dark evening, though you might want to draw a little closer to the fire . . ." - Alison Littlewood/A.J. Elwood

"An intricately described story of loss, self-discovery and belonging in the last gasps of empire. It was wonderfully immersive; I heard every creak and was bitten by the freezing fog. All the White Spaces is a ghost story of the heart that becomes a harrowing battle for survival in malicious barrens. It reads like The Terror meets The Thing in Antarctica." - Louis Greenberg

"This story took me to another age, another place, another skin. I would say it’s timely, but that would hide a more important fact, that it’s timeless." - Francesco Dimitri

"All the White Spaces is a sly and unsettling gem of a book that makes for an immersive read. The storytelling is as taut as the setting is stark, and rife with creeping dread. Despite the blazing summer heat, I was chilled to the bone while reading it, and could not put it down. I loved every frostbitten word!" - Camilla Bruce

"Frozen into the desolation and isolation of Antarctica, this stunning debut delivers a thrilling tale of survival, terror and strength that will chill you to the core." - Tim Lebbon
