With his latest collection of genre-defying short fiction, Haddon horrifies, provokes, and disorients, bringing classic tales and figures from the ancient past into newly imagined realms. Recommended for listeners seeking an astute mix of horror, fantasy, and literary fiction.
A wonderfully entertaining assortment of grim and dystopic tales that demonstrate Haddon’s tremendous skills and versatility as a storyteller. (The novelist, poet, screenwriter, and children’s book author and illustrator is best known for his award-winning novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.)
The integration of a modern setting that reverts to ancient times and back again makes for a fascinating read. Highly recommended. [See Prepub Alert, 12/3/19.]
Refreshingly, Haddon takes the risk of making the ordinary extraordinary and succeeds; each character is poignantly real and each small trauma a revelation. And the language! Highly recommended. [See Prepub Alert, 12/12/11.]
