Reviews

Praise for Witches of Lychford ""At once epic and terribly intimate. This is the story of a village, not a city, and all the more powerful for that; not all big fantasy needs an urban setting. Beautifully written, perfectly cruel, and ultimately kind. This is Cornell at the height of his craft."" --Seanan McGuire, author of the Wayward Children and October Daye series ""Paul Cornell has written a marvelous story, rich in charm, about local politics and witchcraft writ small and personal, but large in consequence."" --Bill Willingham, author of Fables and Down the Mysterly River ""Masterfully creepy and sinister, all the more so for taking place in the beautifully drawn English countryside."" --Jenny Colgan, author of Doctor Who: Into the Nowhere Praise for The Lost Child of Lychford ""Cornell weaves together a fast-paced story and engrossing character studies; he paints a setting of a gloomy English countryside, disarming his readers with magic and danger that lurks unseen. Beneath the suspense lies wry humor that buoys the tale along."" --Publishers Weekly ""Cornell introduces some genuine existential chills into this ingratiating setting."" --The Chicago Tribune Praise for A Long Day in Lychford ""Cornell's brand of magic is delightfully atmospheric and refreshing."" --Publishers Weekly
