Discomfiting and surreal ... Van den Berg rejects the very concept of narrative cohesion, plunging the reader instead into a series of dreamscapes. Moody and hallucinatory ... Reflect[s] our selves back at us and into the world, in all their wildness and weirdness.
The supernatural, or the suggestion of it, coats her tales like so much humidity ... A macabre tale in which the living interact with the dead and yet the eeriest souls are those with a pulse.
