Ford uses . . . incongruously lyrical phrases to infuse the everyday with a nebulous magic." Publishers Weekly, Best Books of the Year(Starred Review) "For lovers of the weird and fantastic and lovers of great writing, this is a treasure trove of disturbing visions, new worlds and fully realized craft." Shelf Awareness (Starred Review) "Properly creepy, but from time to time deliciously funny and heart-breakingly poignant, too."
