“[Oyeyemi] makes us glad to suspend disbelief."
—The New York Times Book Review
“Profoundly chilling . . . a slow-building
neo-Gothic that will leave persevering readers breathless.”
—The Boston Globe
“If you’ve been missing Shirley Jackson all these many
years . . . here’s a writer who seems to be a direct
heir to that lamented one’s gothic throne.”
—The Austin Chronicle
“Superbly atmospheric. . . . The dark tones of Poe
in her haunting have also the elasticity of Haruki Murakami’s
surreal mental landscapes.”
—The Independent (UK)
“[Oyeyemi’s] technical skill as a novelist is remarkable, her range
of reference formidable and her use of language virtuosic.”
—The Daily Telegraph (UK)
"Appealing from page one.... Unconventional, intoxicating and
deeply disquieting."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Laced with thought-provoking story lines."
—Booklist
