"Only bad thing about his books is that they eventually end. Brilliant." Jonny Lee Miller "Vividly set in England and America during the booming industrial era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this stylish thriller conjures a perfect demon to symbolize the age and its appetites..." The New York Times "From its attention-grabbing opening, this period thriller moves back and forth in time to tell a compelling story of a man battling against what he believes to be demonic forces ... [Gallagher] is brilliantly successful at evoking the shifting, transient world of travelling theatres and cheap carnivals that provide the backdrop to his twisting tale" Sunday Times "If thriller-reading were a sin, Stephen Gallagher would be responsible for my ultimate damnation."
