Praise for Under The Pendulum Sun

"An evocative, claustrophobic Gothic novel with strikingly creepy set-pieces, which repeatedly dislocates its reader's and characters' worldview in a forceful examination of faith and the power of stories."
- Aliette de Bodard, Nebula, Locus and BSFA Award-winning author of The House of Shattered Wings

"An enchanting literary debut - I couldn't put it down!"
- Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award winning author of A Man Lies Dreaming and Central Station

"Hauntingly beautiful and masterfully told. This looks like the start of a brilliant career."
- Keith Yatsuhashi, author of Kokoro

"Jeannette Ng's imagery is breathtaking, her setting dark and delightful, and her use of theology is pure genius. Like some sinister elf, Under the Pendulum Sun will steal your imagination and never give it back."
- N S Dolkart, author of Among the Fallen
