PARADISE
About Link to order Reviews
‘A Kafkaesque maelstrom of a novel, with folk horror lurking at the edges. Tufnell remains a wonderfully strange writer.’ Amy Twigg, author of Spoilt Creatures
‘Paradise is a compelling fusion of literary noir with eco-fable – page turning and profound, I loved this book, Tufnell is a tour de force of imaginative power.' James Miller, author of Lost Boys and Sunshine State
'An unsettling novel of juxtapositions and surprises, Paradise moves between city and forest, bringing both to teeming, violent life. Tufnell creates landscapes that work upon us on the deepest level.' Aliya Whiteley, author of The Beauty and The Misheard World
‘Absolutely engrossing, a deeply strange neo-noir fit for the anthropocene.’ Seán Padraic Birnie, author of I Would Haunt You If I Could
‘A powerful novel of psychogeography set between two landscapes, urban and rural, in a world palpably on the brink of collapse. Febrile with paranoia and alienation, Paradise confronts the crucial, intimate matter of our time: how ‘to be’ at the end of all things.’ Charlotte Tierney, author of The Cat Bride
