Description
Book SynopsisUnfolding during a city-wide solstice celebration in a near-future Philadelphia,
Saturnalia is a story about environmental collapse and class warfare, trauma and rebirth... and magic......
Trade ReviewAn unusual blend of thriller, alchemical fantasy and climate apocalypse, it's a wild, entertaining ride * Guardian *
Part horror, part dystopia, part magical realism and part social commentary,
Saturnalia defies genre, but it is dark, disturbing and totally perfect for a winter read. I'd defy anyone not to be intrigued. You might not like it. You might be terrified by it. You might love it, but you won't be indifferent to it * My Weekly *
October demands that gothic, autumnal read and
Saturnalia is it... This has it all: magic, mystery, a fierce female protagonist, and a fast paced plot that will keep you turning the pages * Glamour (Best New Books for October 2023) *
A propulsive mystery-thriller, with Nina pursued by both a creepy man-shaped critter and her own past, but also a portrait of a terrified city slowly losing its collective mind. Future Philly falls somewhere between steampunk and cyberpunk - baroque, pungent, stratified, crumbling - and Feldman gives its plight considerable emotional charge by making it feel real and lived-in. Like her home, Nina is broken and bitter - but not without humanity and hope * SFX Magazine (SFX LOVES, 5 STAR REVIEW) *
'An intoxifying mix of genres... you enter
Saturnalia feeling like it is a Bacchanalia dreamscape and exit in a similar fashion' * SFBook Reviews *
