Praise for Brumes sur la Mersey

“Dark allegory does not give much hope for mankind. And Stephanie Benson, in energetic style, sometimes elliptical, sometimes demonstrative, hits you right in the guts.” Midi Libre, 2nd October 1999.

Praise for SI SOMBRE LIVERPOOL

“Born in London forty years ago, Stephanie Benson lives in the south of France and ‘does not feel part of any country, or any culture, apart from the literary kind’. She is one of the most singular and remarkable voices in France today.” Le Monde, 20th August 1999. “Yes, she has written here a gothic thriller anchored in a more than contemporary universe. And as we said before the result is remarkable. The reader does not walk, he runs from one word to another and from one character to another in his desire to know. Knowing just how far the cynicism of money and politics can go to achieve its ends.” La Marseillaise, 11th April 1999.

Praise for LA BREBIS GALEUSE

“With Black Sheep, the final novel in The Lord of the Lambs trilogy, Stephanie Benson puts her signature to an accomplished text, propelling the reader through the meanderings of the Noir novel and of fantasy.” Le Villefranchois, 4th September 1998.
