A supernatural fantasy blending satirical social comedy with Gothic Horror. In the words of his friend and drinking partner Brian Aldiss "one of Amis's most agreeable rancid novels, packed with disconcerting moments, both human and inhuman, and ending on a memorable note of angst. It's genuinely and enduringly chilling, the real McCoy". (Jones & Newman: Horror, The Best 100 books).
