This collection of stories is from the author of Theft, The Man Who
Was Left Behind, Mrs Caliban, Three of a Kind, The Pearkillers and
The End of Tragedy. 'Rachel Ingalls writes the kind of macabre,
fantastic and haunting fiction called American Gothic . Its
antecedents lie not in the hysterical 18th-century rebellion
against reason, but in Jacobean tragedy, and in the complicated
American relations with greed and Puritanism. Ingalls is one of the
most brilliant practitioners of this Gothic since Poe . Black
Diamond is a collection of five short stories, loosely linked by
the theme of kinship. Ghoulish and gripping, they all begin in an
atmosphere of unsophisticated tranquillity .' Amanda Craig,
Independent 'The stories in Black Diamond . wrap themselves
insidiously around your curiosity, and draw you with them.' Sunday
Times '[Ingalls'] vision evokes a world where psychosis and extreme
violence stalk the American dream.' Time Out
