Caracteristici
With the gothic creepiness and narrative treachery of a Shirley Jackson novel, Whether Violent or Natural will thrill fans of Claire Fuller's Unsettled Ground (TCM 62,000), Rumaan Alam's Leave the World Behind (TCM 36,000), Megan Hunter's The End We Start From (TCM 25,000) and Sophie Mackintosh's The Water Cure (TCM 22,000)
Recenzii
Intelligent and refreshing ... The prose is intoxicating - dark, heady, lyrical
Intimate, evocative, darkly unsettling ... With an undeniable strange power
A terrifying and inventive tale ... The twists come thick and fast and Calder keeps us guessing until the final pages
An intensely lyrical writer ... Calder is excellent at conjuring an eerie atmosphere, with Gothic undertones and a creeping sense of unease
Whether Violent or Natural hits you like a shot of the very good stuff - which it is. I downed it in one. It went down very smoothly. There is - in all the right ways - a faint top-note of Iain Banks's The Wasp Factory, but it's very much its own dark-hearted, complex, and accomplished thing, with an engaging narrator as snarled in the seductive tangle of her own words as she is hemmed in by the overgrown vegetation that covers the small island on which she is trapped
Sly, sharp, and utterly captivating ... Calder's voice is one I won't soon forget
Praise for THE OFFSET: '"Smart, compelling and absolutely of the moment
A twisted reversal of The Handmaid's Tale set in a ravaged dystopia, simmering with menace and tension. Bleak, haunting and intriguing
Thrilling, terrifying and beautifully crafted ... the perfect science-fiction novel for our times. I devoured it
A powerfully told debut
An honest, terrifying and sincere look into our future
Spare, elegant, and thought-provoking as the best classic science fiction ... Calder Szewczak is a name to watch
The Offset crushed me. This is an expertly - and starkly - written, well-drawn eco-dystopian novel about the ultimate measure of austerity taken in order to save the planet. There's so much that was done well here: the world, the science, the societal conflict - but to get into the (possibly carnivorous) weeds would distract from soul of this book. It is a bare-knuckle punch to the heart. Calder Szewczak made me suffer - brilliantly
A prophetic, urgent, gripping read that throws into question what saving the world really means. A tender warning of a book, lest our efforts become as futile as our tragedies
A chilling evocation of a possible future
A bleak but thoughtful dystopian sci-fi. It asks questions about where we are & where we are going through intricate world building and a compelling story. Very entertaining, compulsive & thought-provoking
Finished this and now I'm slightly broken. If, like me, every so often you just want a bit of beautiful, brutal dystopia this is the one for you! A complex world filled with complex characters that draw the reader in. This is a beautifully written, brutal piece of dystopian fiction that does not shy away from the issues we must face today
Hugely impressive
