Editorial Reviews

Faber remains an unrivalled master of his subject.

Sunday Telegraph - David Robson

This book will be read in a sitting. unless of course you are admitted to Accident and Emergency, having come over queer, huffing with laughter, or dizzy with envy at Faber's talent. Or probably both.

Scotsman

Michel Faber is a master of the short-story form.

Times Literary Supplement

"This superb collection makes you immediately want to take up its predecessor and devour it all over again."  —Scotland on Sunday

"Michel Faber is a master of the short-story form."  —Times Literary Supplement

"Gorgeous . . . Colossal, kaleidoscopic . . .  Capable of rendering the muck of a London street amid the delicate humming-bird flights of thought with equal ease."  —Time on The Crimson Petal and the White

"Highly recommended for admirers of Crimson Petal and for those who like their bonbons spicy."—Library Journal
