[edit] Reviews

• "She evokes terror with a rare style and craft." - Sunday Tribune
• "There is a disgusting fin de siècle lushness to the writing, with its emphasis on the sweetness and the ecstasy of pain." - Sunday Times
• "The narrative is arresting...its strength the result of Brite's shocking, vivid prose; of the color and texture of her beautiful writing; of her wit, her intelligence." - Times
