Ingalls is one of the most brilliant practitioners of this Gothic since Poe .

Black Diamond is a collection of five short stories, loosely linked by the theme of kinship.

Amanda Craig, Independent'The stories in Black Diamond . wrap themselves insidiously around your curiosity, and draw you with them.' Sunday Times'[Ingalls'] vision evokes a world where psychosis and extreme violence stalk the American dream.' Time Out
