"Funny, tragic, wise, tender and beautifully written. It also left me gasping with shock ... It is with a mixture of respect and delight that I greet any book capable of blasting an entire genre out of the water with its audacity and grace. Tender Morsels is such a book" -- Meg Rosoff Guardian "A striking retelling of the Grimms' Snow White and Rose Red, told in a rich yet remote prose style, it is, like Lanagan's awardwinning collection of short stories, Red Spikes, likely to appeal to teenage girls with a taste for the original and the sinister" -- Amanda Craig The Times "A work of genius" -- Dinah Hall Sunday Telegraph "It's a rewardingly complex and emotional story told in highly imaginative prose. The worlds Lanagan creates are so rich and multi-layered it's easy to get lost in the book's 500 pages, never wanting to leave" Scotsman "Ambitious and difficult with multi-layered prose that will work its way into your very soul" -- Jill Murphy The Bookbag
