Reviews
A transgressive, inventive dark fantasy with believably complex characters. * Guardian *
Crackling with desire, hedonism, angst, violence and sex, this is a vibrant and wildly entertaining read. * Heat *
The zany narrative races along, stuffed with chaos, magic and fabulously unique characters. It's brilliant on how badly society treats its 'freaks'. Mad and fun. * Daily Mail *
If it feels as if her debut [...] is one she was born to write, then good for her. She succeeds magnificently, leaning into every queer punk excess and fantastical delight . . . A celebration of the marginalised, reframing otherness as a source of great vitality and power. * Observer *
As frightening as it is seductive, this tale of a tightly knit band of outsiders pitting themselves against "that pulsing Calvinist heart" makes for a dark but thrillingly vibrant read. * Herald *
