Rare Book

Review:

"A fantastic novel." -- Denver Rocky Mountain News

"Nothing about Barnes's follow-up to The Somnabulist is predictable....The grotesque fantasy world is a riot." -- mX Brisbane (Australia)

"Strange, outrageous, and wonderful . There is much that is strange, magical, and darkly hilarious about this book . An original and monumentally inventive piece of work by a writer still in his 20s. Barnes seems to leave himself room for a sequel-a consummation devoutly to be wished." -- Washington Post

"Unmatched life and verve." -- Washington Post Book World

"The best fantasy novel of the year." -- Rocky Mountain News

"Marvelously imaginative." -- The Onion

Marvelously imaginative. --The Onion

A fantastic novel. --Denver Rocky Mountain News

"Magical, dark, beautifully odd-and utterly compelling-this is an astonishing debut."--Michael Marshall, author of The Intruders

"Macabre wit and stylistic panache. Parliament should immediately pass a law requiring Barnes to write a sequel."--James Morrow, author of The Last Witchfinder and The Philosopher's Apprentice
