Margo Lanagan Knihy

Černá šťáva předkládá čtenářům sbírku deseti neobvyklých, dokonce šokujících povídek – vyprávění malého chlapce, jehož rodina asistuje při popravě sestry vražednice, líčení útěku sloního stáda ze zajetí, masakr páchaný šílenými klauny, život v izolované sektě popisovaný dítětem, povídky o nejrůznějších rituálech v různých společnostech – to všechno je tak neskutečné, tak bizarní a nečekané, že kniha si plným právem zaslouží zařazení do žánru fantasy; pro upřesnění, poetického, fantazijního fantasy. Nedočtete se tu o dracích ani o mimozemšťanech či skřetech, zato hodně o své vlastní duši a horečnatých snech, které mohou těšit i děsit.
