Praise be for Feather & Bone



"A page turner with darkly comic events that will have you amazed at the way the story unfolds. You won't be disappointed. Take my word for it."
The Red House

"Gloriously scary, exciting and gruesome. In the hands of Strangolov, the question of 'what's lurking in the dark dark wood' is no longer a cliche."
Irish News

"The humour throughout is darkest black, the style totally tongue-in-cheek and the whole concept hilarious – but not for the squeamish or for anyone with an allergy to poultry or associated odours."
Robert Dunbar, The Irish Times

"Highly original, very entertaining, unfadingly black ... hilarious."
Books for Keeps

"Extraordinary ... Strangolov creates a sense of menace and unease."
Literary Review

"Feather and Bone is one of the spookiest, atmospheric, wonderfully absorbing books I have read so far this year. It’s everything I wanted The Series of Unfortunate Events to be. With respect to Lemony Snicket — Strangolov is better!"
GleanerZine


"Strangely unnerving."
The Bookseller

"Absolutely wonderful."
Junior Eductation Plus

Rather than hope to shake my hand, however, may I suggest you devote your time to preparing for the beginning of The End Times.

Good news also from Germany and The Netherlands, where Feather & Bone - and the coded Domesday date within - will appear in translation.

Let's just hope this happens sooner rather than later.
