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.

Book Overview: An amazing literary fantasy novel Whether with the League of Extrordinary Gentleman, The Crimson and the White, or Arthur and George, Victoriana has never been hotter. A beautifully written tale, filled with fabulously flawed characters, an rich and evocative setting and a quirky and engaging story Nothing quite like this on the Gollancz list - it's perfect literary crossover Ideal for fans of Mark Gatiss' The Vesuvius Club As ornamented and crammed with delights and marvels as the Victoria and Albert Museum. Adam Roberts, Professor of Ninteenth Century Literature, University of London Barnes is a reviewer for, amongst others, the Times Literary Supplement

Media Reviews
Barnes's characters remain colourful and his plotting ingenious. -- SFX Dave Golder A compulsive read. Barnes twists his concepts to end up somewhere dark and inventive. The Domino Men is something of a ripping yarn. -- Jes Bickham DEATHRAY Jonathan Barnes' latest madcap comedy is full of good ideas and good jokes. There is a tang of melancholy within this author's work which goes well with the general air of inventive fun. -- Mat Coward MORNING STAR
