Publisher's Synopsis
With a gallery of vividly grotesque characters, a richly evoked setting and a playful and highly literate style, this is an amazingly readable literary fantasy and a brilliant novel.
Jonathan Barnes is one of the most talented writers of Victoriana around, and juggles invention, reality, grotesquerie and curiosities together into a sparkling and wonderfully quirky story.
Perfect for readers who like something a little different, this is a stand alone novel from the author of The Somnambulist - "A cabinet crammed with curiosities", The Observer - which picks up the tale of The Domino Men as they embark on an all-new adventure.
