JAS TREADWELL is - A phantom - a cipher - A mere NAME, assumed like a mask! and signifying, nothing at all -
An extraordinary novel . . . a tour de force * Andrew Taylor * Treadwell's book is a magnificent pastiche of 18th-century fiction * The Sunday Times * Tristram Shandy meets Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell in a novel that addresses dark disturbing themes with tremendous wit, charm and elegance * Daily Express and Daily Mirror * Part historical pastiche, part gothic horror, this is an ambitious and stylistically bold 18th-century adventure with shades of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell * SFX * This novel is a virtuoso performance . . . he must be heartily congratulated both for performing an extraordinary feat of literary ventriloquism and also for reminding us what historical fiction does best: create an entirely convincing vanished world while also using that world as a lens through which to view the present day * Guardian *
