Recenzii

A global chase, with lots of humour, heart, and the painful unfolding of the nature and true history of their relationship... Sharply focused and written
One of the most exciting new voices in speculative fiction
A near-flawless debut novel... Compact, powerful, and devastating as it hurls the reader through a brilliantly crafted narrative
A perfect balance of thriller, horror and humour; reminded me of The Gone-Away World
A burly longform debut from an author who is clearly just getting warmed up
Premee Mohamed writes with a joyous velocity that careens through genre-lines, whipping the reader helplessly after her... One of the most exciting voices I've heard in a long time
A coming-of-age story with a heavy dose of the Weird, with thrills and humour along for the ride
An enthralling Neo-Lovecraftian read with a strong pair of protagonists
A wonderful genre-defying adventure, rife with strange heart and weird horror... But most notable is its particular, careful attention to its characters. Premee Mohamed is a bold new voice
Thoughtful, emotional and on occasion laugh out loud funny... A smart, disturbing delight of a book
One of those wonderful books that keeps peeling back layers, not of some cosmic mystery, but of its two main characters... Nicky and Johnny end up being much more complex and ambiguous than they appear at the start of this book, and every reveal is gasp-out-loud astonishing
A galloping global adventure where privilege and the lies we tell others are as great a villainous force as the budding cthulonic forces the heroes must rush to stop
Gripping from the first, arresting sentence to the last, this is unsettling, mind-devouring cosmic horror at its best, wrapped around one of those captivating noooo-this-is-a-terrible-idea-but-why-what-noooo relationships
I wish I could provide a short and pithy blurb for this novel, but I can't. It's too involving a book, toogood a book for that. It quietly drills holes in your expectations, sliding demolitions charges into them, running the wires back to a detonator, and then-when you reach the climax-it quietly says 'You can't say you weren't warned' (and you were), before quietly leaning on the plunger, at which point, things stop being quiet at all
There's such a searing clarity to its understanding of the world. It's loving, too; it's affectionate of the people and the neuroses and the gentle way we are all damaged. It relishes the few things still beautiful here. Premee is one of the funniest people I know and one of the sweetest; and she reminds me that it is hard not be angry at this world when you love it
This is a great story! I loved the globe trotting, ancient history and mysteries at every turn
