Su questo libro

Recensione:

"This well-told tale is peopled with a fascinating array of characters and offers much witty and sage commentary on our materialistic society." --Publishers Weekly

"A tour de force which succeeds brilliantly" --The Times

"It s a lean, tautly plotted tale, and there s an attack to the writing and a bite to the humour...this is perhaps Newman s best book outside of his Anno Dracula series." --Starburst Magazine

"A delightful read and a compulsive page-turner...both mesmeric and damn creepy." --FrightFest

"This is a cautionary tale, told with the usual wit and creative flair of one of horror s best contemporary writers. For Newman fans this is a must read." ----Fantasy Book Review
