"Erica Wagner has written a book that is unique, that defies categorisation. She has managed to weave familiar old tales, legends, psychology, neurology, and topography, into a fresh, poetic tapestry, a celebration of the human imagination and the power of story.

Nothing could be as poetic, as stunning, as magical, as the original stories that inspired this book. But Seizure comes close. It is a magnificent novel." Eilis Ni Dhuibne, The Irish Times

My novel Seizure is just out (in the UK) in paperback, and Eve magazine says it's a "must-read", how's that? It’s available to buy online from Amazon and all good book shops, and you can find out more information here.
