StephanieBy: Herbert Rosendorfer "Her story is interwoven most skilfully with her 20th century life, which holds strange parallels and reflections and allows Rosendorfer some acute and occasionally darkly comic, social comment. This is a quality book from a first-rate mind of considerable sophistication. Dedalus is to be thanked for introducing us to Herbert Rosendorfer." Elizabeth Hawksley in The Historical Novel Review RRP: £7.99 |

The Architect of RuinsBy: Herbert Rosendorfer Four men led by the Architect of Ruins construct an Armagedon shelter, in the shape of a giant cigar, so that when the end of the world comes they can enter eternity in the right mood, whilst playing a Schubert string quartet. They amuse themselves by telling stories, which take on a life of their own, with walk on parts for Faust, Don Juan, da Ponte, and G.K. Chesterton etc as the narrative flashes back and forth between the Dark Ages and the Modern Day, like a literary Mobius strip. RRP: £9.99 |

Andrew Crumey in Scotland on Sunday RRP: £7.99 |

Faren Miller in Locus RRP: £8.99 |
