Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, this is an epic novel of startling originality in which the medieval past takes on a face, name and occupation and roams around the humdrum town of Ashford. The award-winning author of "Clear", "Wide Open" and "Behindlings", Nicola Barker was voted as one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists of the decade. 'Barker is a great, restless novelist, and "Darkmans" is a great, restless novel. At the end of 838 blinding, high octane pages, I was bereft that there weren't 838 more.' "Guardian"
