Reviews

I think these stories in this book have all the right ingredients - originality, horror, ingenuity, and a touch of the macabre

—— Wendy Cooling

Complex and daring, its firework prose illuminating the darkness of the ordinary

—— Independent on Sunday

A formidable young writer... Power unpacks her character's emotions with a firm, graceful hand

—— New York Times

A passionate, intelligent, and piercingly beautiful. It is an altogether striking debut

—— Mary Gaitskill

With a sushi-chef hero, a waitress heroine and a cast of hungry-for-love characters, this novel is flavoursome and fulfilling

—— Harpers & Queen

A meticulously realised otherworld...ambitious and scrupulously crafted

—— SFX

A world of evocative magic, brutal warfare and poetry unlike anything I'd read before...the publication of a second novel is always a tense time - was the author a one hit wonder? Fortunately for us, Deadhouse Gates triumphantly proves that this is not the case for Steve Erikson
