Rex King is back! And Phantom at the Feast is available from your favourite bookshop from today…

Here’s what 3am Magazine said in our first review:

This is not your average thriller, this is your exceptional experimental crime novel. For Tony White to write a sequel to The Fountain in the Forest, to merge the avant-garde with the whodunnit . . . is to rub out much of what has gone before in crime fiction. The past haunts the book, the London of Chris Petit’s Robinson or the multi-layered, mythic ruins of Michael Moorcock’s Mother London, or the time-shifting echoes of Iain Sinclair’s White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings.Phantom at the Feast – like London – is built on top of its own ghosts . . . Like all great crime novels, the truth is not a revelation, it is a gradual calcification of options and the sovereignty of facticity. Phantom at the Feast is a site of resistance combatting the dystopian horizon of the AI literary industry . . . Against this algorithmic flattening, the novel – and this novel in particular – stands as a site of stubborn, human friction.

I hope you enjoy it!
