THE APPETITE
London, the late 1980s. A storm of hurricane strength brings two people together. One of them is married. ‘Nicholas Royle writes at the very edge of genre, both at the cutting edge and at the border with something that is rather different’ ‘His books are a tonic for our jaded palates’ ‘He makes the ordinary seem spooky and the uncanny seem believable’ ‘A master craftsman’ — g f p — |
