“Combine equal parts of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series and Chine
Miéville’s Perdido Street Station, throw in a dash of
Aubrey BeardsleyandJ.K. Huysmans, and you’ll get some idea of this
disturbing, decadent first novel.”—Publishers Weekly
“The plot, with its stories-within-stories and its offhand
descriptions of wonders and prodigies, brings to mind the works of
Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges.”—Locus
