“KIRSTY ALLISON’S WRITING TRAVERSES A HAUNTED LANDSCAPE WHERE MAGIC IS ENTWINED WITH THE MUNDANE, ROMANCE EMBRACES HORROR, AND THE VULGAR CAVORTS WITH THE SUBLIME...a morbid Walk of Fame...the ultimate celebration of the rock n roll death trip, set in 90s indulgence and decadence when Fashion Yin and Rock n Roll Yang had a baby and called it Heroin Chic.”
