Product Description

Product Description

It’s easy to be cynical when you can see the future…

Introducing Delilah Dark, a sarcastic 12-year old psychic with a sharp black bob and crocodile-coloured eyes. Since the death of her sister, Bel, she’s not really been a people person, preferring the company of her pet snake Slinky and fighting off boredom with very black coffee.

But that’s before the rise of the shadowy business BigCorp, who seem to have a strange hold over consumers. There are riots in shopping malls and no one can stop guzzling food. Is it anything to do with those creepy Burgerlicious adverts? Or the new credit card, Faustcard, where you really should read the small print?

The world needs saving, and Delilah Dark is in deeper than she thinks…

This is the first part of the Delilah Dark trilogy, and should appeal to fans of Roald Dahl and JK Rowling.

About the author:

Evie Glass lives in London. She likes tarot-reading, taxidermy and writing gloomy poetry.

Epic 4 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I really like books about psychics, this was awesome. Quite violent. It's not like anything I've read before. Delilah Dark has about three cups of coffee a day and is basically negative and sarky about everything, a bit like me. I recommend this book and read it in one go, I can't wait for the next one.

Modern day 'Matilda' 16 May 2012

Really enjoyed the read. Found myself laughing out loud on many occasions. Really good fun - reminded me of Roald Dahl's Matilda. Would definitely recommend!!

Delilah Dark is not for the faint-hearted. Both the book and its endearing, difficult heroine, Delilah herself, are poised on a precarious and intriguing line between childhood and adulthood, and both inhabit a world where the ground is continually shifting, and no allegiances can be relied up - a world where a stranger might be more trustworthy than a father, for example. Recruited by a bunch of hippy activists, Delilah, who has a psychic gift, and various other teenagers with super-power are forced into the position of choosing to save the world. The book is peppered with political and contemporary references (the riots, and that rather modern foodstuff, Quorn, for example), and Pollard continually places her heroes and heroines in situations of extreme peril from which not all of them escape unscathed. Although the book is a real page-turner as well as being nicely humorous in strategic places (some great jokes), this author's prose is no less daring than her poetry, and she is not afraid to confront head-on some of the painful realities of our time.
