Praise for ABARAT III: Absolute Midnight illustrated hardback
edition: “True moments of terror vie for attention with the flora
and fauna of Abarat … All in all, fans will revel” – Kirkus Book
Reviews “Readers will agree with Candy: ‘So much still to do: to
explore, to solve, to feel.’” – Booklist Praise for ABARAT I
illustrated hardback edition: “ABARAT is more than just a new and
major contender. It is (like his earlier book, THE THIEF OF ALWAYS)
full of a level of beautiful terror that children are still just
able to bear”
Independent “Always creating and always pushing into the furthest
reaches of the human mind, he is an artist in every sense of the
word. He is the great imaginer of our time”
Quentin Tarantino
