Synopsis
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.

Review
'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
