Following the success of her much-acclaimed fourth novel, 'The Deadly Space Between', Patricia Duncker's new book promises - and delivers - more in the same sinister vein.
A collection of interwoven stories, 'Seven Tales Of Sex And Death' is a gripping, haunting read, with an edgy tone reminiscent of Edgar Allen Poe at his most dazzling and thought-provoking. Its dark, disquieting images linger long after the book itself is finished.
"These tales are night-pieces . . . amoral, vindictive and unforgiving . . . The seven tales were written to disturb and provoke. I want my readers to revisit the cliches of sexuality and violence, to read them afresh - and to think again" - Patricia Duncker
