The Gloaming

I was captivated...Magical beliefs and stories, unreliable narrators and tragic events are all woven together beautifully. Mara's family and their many losses, and Mara's relationship with Pearl are heartbreaking and compelling to read. The characters were beautifully flawed and complex, I couldn't stop turning the pages ’

Francesca Brown, Stylist

The lustrous, abandoned intensity of her prose is always a joy

Claire Allfree, Daily Mail

The Gloaming is a lyrical tale of family and isolation and love, brought to life through the magic of Logan’s unique imagination and exquisite prose.

Helen Sedgwick

A mystical story to lose yourself in ****

Heat

Very talented...richly imagined and multi-layered...beauty and intelligence of the writing.

Scotsman

Logan’s prose is dreamlike and delicious, weaving an unsettling, unearthly tale with the confidence of a master storyteller

Katie Welsh, Diva

A gorgeous old-fashioned love story of romantic love and the love between parents and children, sisters and brothers. While on the surface it may seem like a whimsical fairytale, it’s how Logan deals with themes of trauma, grief, and loss through her magical metaphorical lens that makes the novel so impressive

Katie Goh, The Skinny

Kirsty Logan is very talented... Selkies and other creatures of fairytales are offered us side by side with a bored girl pulling pints in the island pub... Logan brings it off, daringly... a richly imagined and many-layered novel

Allan Massie, The Scotsman

Logan's writing is undeniably beautiful and captivates throughout

The Wee Review

[Logan] draws on her native Scotland’s folklore to craft an energetic tale of love and family ties… [It] ebbs like a tide to reveal the characters’ secrets, rewarding readers with more depth than the genre usually allows.

UK Press Syndication

The Gloaming is slipstream, sitting in that liminal space which isn’t exactly genre … reality in this world has room for magic, and stories take shape here.

Elaine Gallagher, Interzone

A gorgeous story and unlike anything else.

The Sun

A gorgeous, atmospheric, magical love story.

i

A multilayered novel, splicing folklore, poetic imagery and gritty realism to produce a powerful reflection on nature, family ties and the stories we tell ourselves

Interzone

A novel that casts a spell of its own and rallies for a rousing finish

Alastair Mabbott, Herald
