Seven tales of sex and death - Patricia Duncker

Following the success of her much-acclaimed fourth novel, The Deadly Space Between, Patricia Duncker's new book promises - and delivers - more in the same sinister vein. A collection of interwoven stories, Seven Tales of Sex and Death is a gripping, haunting read, with an edgy tone reminiscent of Edgar Allen Poe at his most dazzling and thought-provoking. Its dark, disquieting images linger long after the book itself is finished.'These tales are night-pieces . . . amoral, vindictive and unforgiving . . . The seven tales were written to disturb and provoke. I want my readers to revisit the cliches of sexuality and violence, to read them afresh - and to think again' Patricia Duncker Praise for Patricia Duncker and The Deadly Space Between:'Duncker's fiendishly clever thriller subverts conventional morality and confounds expectations' Daily Mail'Her work combines intellectual playfulness with the deadly suspense of a thriller' Literary Review
