“Complexly plotted . . . Compelling . . . A dark-humored macabre puzzle box of a novel.”
—The New York Times
“An irresistible, haunting gothic horror.”
—The Guardian
“Impossible to stop reading. It has all the fascinating tension of great literature.”
—Mariana Enríquez, author of Our Share of Night
“A strange, meticulous and fascinating work.”
—Agustina Bazterrica, author of Tender is the Flesh
“When I say that The Eye of Goliath is, instantly, a classic of the gothic tradition, I don’t mean at all that it is lugubrious or old-fashioned. Quite the opposite—Diego Muzzio’s book is a lively and hair-raising novel of the uncanny. I loved it.”
—Kelly Link, author of The Book of Love
“A mesmerizing exploration of madness and trauma, brilliantly structured and elegantly written. I loved it.”
—Graeme Macrae Burnet, author of His Bloody Project
“This might be the closest I’ve come to reading a cursed book, in the best way possible. Truly disturbing. At times it feels like reading a forgotten classic, and at others like something that wasn’t meant to be read. It genuinely gave me nightmares.”
—Liam Higginson, author of The Hill in the Dark Grove
“A puzzle-box with the feel of a rediscovered classic, one in which the horrors of WWI and its echoing aftermath illustrate not only where we were, but where we are, and where we are headed. It’s an alchemic, haunting read.”
—Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts
“Muzzio’s high-gothic sensibilities and ’60s horror movie vibes make this one of the most deeply unnerving stories in strange fiction, a disorienting high-pulp, high-art retelling of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the ages.”
—Reactor
“With echoes of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, this is a macabre but gripping tale of war, murder and madness.”
—The Sunday Times (UK)
