"This is a simply deceiving story, complicated and intricate beneath the humor and darkness. She weaves a strong web and populates the story with quirky and likeable characters" - you can read the rest of the review over at The Crow's Caw.
The second review is by Caroline E Willis...
"The aesthetic of this 40,000 word novella evokes theater and circuses and other strange, false places that tell true stories. It’s a cross between Gaiman’s Neverwear, Maguire’s Wicked and Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, and if you enjoy any of those, you will enjoy the “Theatre of Curious Acts." - you can read the rest of the review over at Tangent Online.
I'm currently writing a little collection of flash stories/biographical accounts of events that happened (according to some rather dubious folk including a Mr. Folk) to some rather unfortunate and some wicked creatures who populate the outskirts and the dark unseen corners of the Theatre. I'm hoping to use them for a blog tour in December or January - thinking January may be better being that it is the season of frost and staying-in-ness and plus 2012 has that whole apocalyptic vibe going for it.
And that is all my news, I think... Ooh, except I'm venturing out into the world this weekend to attend a wee event in my home town and then I'm scurrying home to cower back under my duvet.

Wow, they put your name at the top. This means you have arrived and you are now a brand. From now on you must put a little TM symbol after your name wherever you go.
Love that cover. It's very 'you'.
Enjoy the sojourn to the local event.
Noted. I shall have a nametag made with a little TM symbol at the end.
2012 is supposed to be a very scary time ;)
Gaiman's "Neverwear"...
So I've heard, Kim.
I know, Peter. I was going to change it to Neverwhere at first but figured you shouldn't mess with a reviewers words.
Nice! And well deserved.
And my goodness is that a beautiful cover. I think I've said so before, but it's just gorgeous.
Good gravy--what wonderful comparisons you've garnered! Congrats, Cate!
Wow, great reviews, Cate! You're killing it! :-) Enjoy your outing.
Looks and sounds great, Cate.
Thanks, Kate and Aaron and Anthony and Simon :D
Very lovely, Cate. What a great year you've had.
