The Tooth Fairy The Tooth Fairy is one of four Graham Joyce novels to have won the British Fantasy Award.
Sam and his friends are like any gang of normal young boys. Roaming wild around the outskirts of their car-factory town. Daring adults to challenge their freedom.
Until the day Sam wakes to find the Tooth Fairy sitting on the edge of his bed. Not the benign figure of childhood myth, but an enigmatic presence that both torments and seduces him, changing his life forever. 'A modern parable of loss and maturity… deft, canny and highly readable' Iain Banks
`An eerie and quite lovely coming-of-age tale’ Washington Post
`Brilliantly original’ Sunday Times
`Brilliant and unclassifiable, The Tooth Fairy is by turns tender, nightmarish, and hilarious, with hard-won wisdom and a rare sense of time and place, of loves truly lived’ Jonathan Lethem
`Sharp, freshly imagined, and evocative work, by turns wrenching, funny, and disquieting’ Kirkus
`Complex, funny, and sometimes tragic, this brilliantly sharp depiction of the ghastliness of adolescence and the thin line between fantasy and reality keeps the reader off balance’ amazon.com
`One of those near-perfect novels that grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go until the last sentence, a seamless journey through the growing pains of three young English boys.’ Charles de Lint
`Graham Joyce’s novels are always well written and often unclassifiable - they straddle the border between mainstream and fantasy.’ Starburst
`Insightful, hugely entertaining and completely engrossing.’ Time Out
`Graham Joyce is undoubtedly one of the finest British writers around at the moment… He specialises in an area of the genre others can only approach tentatively; that gossamer thin divide between the real and the unreal, truth and imagination, fact and fantasy. Joyce patrols the borders of both territories with a confidence and style that never ceases to impress.’ sfrevu.com
