Author Q&A

  

With a gallery of vividly grotesque characters, a richly evoked setting and a playful and highly literate style, this is an amazingly readable literary fantasy and a brilliant novel.

Jonathan Barnes is one of the most talented writers of Victoriana around, and juggles invention, reality, grotesquerie and curiosities together into a sparkling and wonderfully quirky story.

Perfect for readers who like something a little different, this is a stand alone novel from the author of The Somnambulist - "A cabinet crammed with curiosities", The Observer - which picks up the tale of The Domino Men as they embark on an all-new adventure.

 

"A compulsive read. Barnes twists his concepts to end up somewhere dark and inventive. The Domino Men is something of a ripping yarn."

Jes Bickham
