Freakslaw

Reviews

A transgressive, inventive dark fantasy with believably complex characters. Crackling with desire, hedonism, angst, violence and sex, this is a vibrant and wildly entertaining read. The zany narrative races along, stuffed with chaos, magic and fabulously unique characters. It’s brilliant on how badly society treats its ‘freaks’. Mad and fun. If it feels as if her debut […] is one she was born to write, then good for her. She succeeds magnificently, leaning into every queer punk excess and fantastical delight . . . A celebration of the marginalised, reframing otherness as a source of great vitality and power. As frightening as it is seductive, this tale of a tightly knit band of outsiders pitting themselves against “that pulsing Calvinist heart” makes for a dark but thrillingly vibrant read. Expand reviews
