The Devil in the Valley
'This unusual little gem of a book is part comic romp and part nail-biting thriller... Castle Freeman writes with both wit and a deep understanding of the human psyche, and he does not cheat us out of a dramatic climax' Guardian
'A Faustian tale in inimitable style. Full of laconic dialogue and waggish asides on contemporary culture, this is a thoroughly enjoyable read from the ever-inventive Freeman'Booklist
'Castle Freeman packs more story into 160 pages than more famous authors could fit into twice as many'USA Today
