Two Dark Tales Bewertungen

`In these expertly-crafted stories the consequences of moral corrosion are truly frightening. There are terrible things in the shadows - and we made them. Charles Lambert is a terrific, devious storyteller." - Owen King, author of Double Feature and co-author of Sleeping Beauties `Gripping' Attitude Magazine `Jack Squat ... A charming, elegantly written novella. [...] The Niche ... Deeply poignant.' TLS `Odd, disturbing and original... two elegant novellas.' Sunday Express `Genuinely horrifying, but subtle and unique' The Literary Sofa `Charles Lambert could one day attain classic status.' Maggie Gee `This disquieting novel is surely one of the year's most bizarre stories... Mr. Lambert's subtle prose enhances the novel's creepiness, as does his refusal to fully resolve or explain its many mysteries.' New York Times `Charles Lambert is a seriously good writer' Dame Beryl Bainbridge `Compulsively readable, a one-of-a-kind literary horror story' Kirkus Reviews
