Meet the Radleys - Peter, Helen and their teenage children, Clara and Rowan, live in a typical suburban English town. They are an everyday family, averagely dysfunctional, averagely content. But, as their children have yet to find out, the Radleys have a devastating secret. In this moving, thrilling and extraordinary portrait of one unusual family, The Radleys asks what we grow into when we grow up, and explores what we gain - and lose - when we deny our appetites.
Industry Reviews
* I love this book. It's fabulous and moving and funny and strange. -- Jeanette Winterson on The Last Family in England * So surprising and strange that it vaults into a realm all of its own ... delightfully weird. The Guardian on The Dead Fathers Club * A compelling book; a page-turner in the best sense of the word. -- John Burnside on The Possession of Mr Cave, The Guardian * A comic tour de force ... On another level it's a desperately sad view from underneath as a family falls apart. The Times on The Last Family in England * Humorous and original. A crossover book like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Daily Mail on The Dead Fathers Club A sharp, bloody tale of abstinence and indulgence (and trying not to eat the neighbours). -- Steven Hall, author of The Raw Shark Texts * All vampire fiction has a strong sexual undercurrent; but in this book, the passion's not just for the pale-faced teens. -- Helen Brown Daily Mail * An enjoyably twisty and self aware tale ... that should appeal to all vampire fans, whatever their age. -- Ben East Metro * Great fun. Vogue * A witty introduction to present-day vampire lore. The Observer * A bloody good read. News of the World * This is an author who doesn't do run-of-the-mill ... the result is a blackly humorous novel that shimmers with secrets and shadows and unspoken longings. The Press * Pointed, clever and witty. Independent * This is a novel with a twist that draws you in with its short chapters and original plot. At times it is amusing and at others quite moving and well-observed ... it will make you look at your neighbours in a new light. Gazette and Herald
