Seven Tales of Sex and Death - Softcover

Duncker is a mistress of suspense ... A febrile, fascinating, disquieting read. It asserts itself for what it is: serious stuff, to be read in one gulp and then mulled over for days (Maggie O’Farrell)

A wonderfully engaging and rewarding collection, shot through with wit and perversity (Michael Arditti Independent)

Dark, subversive . You will be left reeling (Observer)

This collection of stories confirms Patricia Duncker as one of Britain's leading fiction writers . . . She explores areas of our psyches that we all recognise but mostly choose to ignore. She should be required reading (Financial Times)

Confident and bewitching . Duncker is forging her own brand of fiction, a sort of gender-bending, intellectually exuberant English-French hybrid (Joanna Briscoe Guardian)

Patricia Duncker writes beautifully with a flamboyant immediacy (Sunday Telegraph)

Dark and salacious . They capture brilliantly the moment in everyday situations where our minds cease to occupy reality and shift into the fantasy projections of our fervently active imaginations (The Times)
