Praise for 'Consumed': '"Consumed" is an eye-opening dazzler. Not for the fainthearted, but for those of us who relish a trip into the shadowy depths, a must-read. Cronenberg's novel is as troubling, sinister, and as enthralling as his films.' Stephen King 'Classic Cronenberg! Who else can tell such a frightening, thrilling, shocking story about the nexus of the spirit and the flesh? 'Consumed' will, well, consume you.' J. J. Abrams 'Coming from David Cronenberg, the originality, wit, preoccupation with technology, and uncompromising carnality of 'Consumed' should come as no surprise ... This fiercely original book, with the scope and poetic exactitude of Nabokov's best work, has the power to unsettle, disarm, and finally make the reader absolutely complicit.' Viggo Mortensen 'An astonishing, seamless continuation of what I call his peerless novelistic film oeuvres. With 'Consumed', he has become the definitive heir, not just of Kafka and Borges, but of Cronenberg himself.' Bruce Wagner Praise for David Cronenberg: 'Few directors have ploughed such distinctive furrows as Cronenberg. And now in his fourth decade of film-making, he is still at the cutting edge.' 'The World's 40 Best Directors', The Guardian, 'An intellectual with ominous powers.' The New York Times 'The most audacious and challenging narrative director in the English-speaking world' The Village Voice 'Horror's smartest/scariest auteur.' 'Greatest Directors Ever' Total Film
