Sinopsis

I&rsquo,ve been told that this is the most elegant thing I&rsquo,ve ever written. I can&rsquo,t think how such a dark brew of motifs came together to create that effect. But there&rsquo,s unassuaged longing and nostalgia in here, interwoven with the horror, as well as an unflagging drive towards the final consummation. I still feel more for the story&rsquo,s characters, whether love or loathing, than for any others I&rsquo,ve created to date. Tragedy, urban legend, Gothic romance, warped fairy tale of New York: it&rsquo,s all there. And of course, most important of all is the seductive allure of writing and of books - and what that can lead some people to do. You may not like my answer to the mystery of the third book. But I hope you stay to find out. &ndash, Paul StJohn Mackintosh
