Críticas:

I love this book. It's fabulous and moving and funny and strange. -- Jeanette Winterson on The Last Family in England So surprising and strange that it vaults into a realm all of its own . . . delightfully weird. * * The Guardian on The Dead Fathers Club * * A compelling book; a page-turner in the best sense of the word. -- John Burnside on The Possession of Mr Cave, The Guardian A comic tour de force . . . On another level it's a desperately sad view from underneath as a family falls apart. * * The Times on The Last Family in England * * Humorous and original. A crossover book like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. * * Daily Mail on The Dead Fathers Club * * A sharp, bloody tale of abstinence and indulgence (and trying not to eat the neighbours). -- Steven Hall, author of The Raw Shark Texts All vampire fiction has a strong sexual undercurrent; but in this book, the passion's not just for the pale-faced teens. -- Helen Brown * * Daily Mail * * An enjoyably twisty and self aware tale . . . that should appeal to all vampire fans, whatever their age. -- Ben East * * Metro * * Great fun. * * Vogue * * A witty introduction to present-day vampire lore. * * The Observer * * A bloody good read. * * News of the World * * This is an author who doesn't do run-of-the-mill . . . the result is a blackly humorous novel that shimmers with secrets and shadows and unspoken longings. * * The Press * * Pointed, clever and witty. * * Independent * * This is a novel with a twist that draws you in with its short chapters and original plot. At times it is amusing and at others quite moving and well-observed . . . it will make you look at your neighbours in a new light. * * Gazette and Herald * *

Reseña del editor:

Meet the Radleys Peter, Helen and their teenage children, Clara and Rowan, live in a typical suburban English town. They are an everyday family, averagely dysfunctional, averagely content. But, as their children have yet to find out, the Radleys have a devastating secret In this moving, thrilling and extraordinary portrait of one unusual family, The Radleys asks what we grow into when we grow up, and explores what we gain - and lose - when we deny our appetites.
