Meanwhile, back in their apartments, bedsits and terraced houses, things lurk in the shadows, attracting flies . . . and sometimes whispering to them. Unsettling and powerful work.”Peter CrowtherAuthor of Songs of Leaving and The Longest Single Note“Suzanne Barbieri's sparse, cool style only adds to the sense of quiet dread her stories evoke. A strikingly original new writer with a sharp instinct for character and setting.”Tony RichardsAuthor of Tropic of Darkness and Under The Ice.Author biographyWriter and musician Suzanne Barbieri lives in London.
