Trade Review
Her debut collection paints a refreshingly surreal vision of small-town life... Selected by Granta as one of America's best young novelists, Russell is an intuitive writer with a gift for arresting prose * Independent *
An exuberant collection; each story bursts forth from the pages with a cacophony of imagery that sweeps up the reader * The Times *
Outrageously imaginative and profoundly funny... surreal... impressive in many ways... Her imagination is agile, like the body of a champion gymnast, and she lets it dance... Does anyone over here write like this, with such freedom, such vivacity? A wild and brilliant first book * Irish Times *
Arcane, magical tales of adolescent transformation... reminiscent of Angela Carter but wonderfully confident and refreshing in its own right * Guardian *
Delights in the quirky...truly magical and creepy settings * Daily Mail *
