	Graham Joyce The Facts of Life Reviewed by Serena Trowbridge
		Joyce creates a magical world into which it is impossible not to be drawn.
		Particularly striking about the novel is Joyce's remarkable prose style, under punctuated, full of familiar cadences and rhythms and authentic dialogue which betrays his Midlands upbringing; particularly as he writes with love about a childhood in Coventry.
		Joyce has an unusual talent for creating a world both fantastical and realistic, and the worlds he creates are certainly worth exploring.

	Strange Horizons Reviews: The Limits of Enchantment by Graham Joyce, reviewed by Lynda E. Rucker
		Graham Joyce is a writer who's staked out the liminal territory at the fringes of genre fiction, just as his characters seem to inhabit worlds where dreams and hallucinations draw them to (and sometimes over) the edges of consensual reality.
		In Fern's distinctive voice Joyce convincingly evokes a portrait of a sheltered woman barely past her teens and encountering the complexity of a world for which her upbringing has not entirely prepared her.
		Joyce isn't going to make up our minds for us, and it's this ambiguity combined with his spare and elegant prose that lends his novels much of their quiet power.

	Graham Joyce The Limits of Enchantment Reviewed By Rick Kleffel
		Joyce's portrait of hedgerow medicine is fascinating and detailed, as is his portrait of rural England in 1966, as change sweeps across the land and indeed around the world.
		Joyce writes the kind of novel that readers can and should take very slowly, though the temptation will be to read it in a single sitting.
		Joyce is one of our great novelists, one of the treasures of our time.

	Graham Joyce's TWOC. The Eternal Night Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Web Site
		This is somewhat of a departure for Graham Joyce in terms of content, but most certainly not in terms of quality.
		Joyce is a horror writer, and a fine one at that — but this is more subtle than would be expected for a horror writer.
		This is about thoughts, feelings, denial and repression, it is a journey into the mind of a troubled teen, struggling to recover who he is after an accident which nearly cost him and his dead brother's girlfriend Jools, their lives.

	Amazon.ca: The Tooth Fairy: Books: Graham Joyce (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Joyce pulls no punches when it comes to describing those slightly naughty activities young boys engage in, and once the Alice character arrives on the scene the libido factor soars off the charts.
		Joyce writes in that understated Brit style, in which the gore is hidden underneath a veneer of geniality.
		Joyce shifts in and out of detail, using vagueness to add a sense of unease or urgency in action (i.e., his narrator describes things in less detail when under stress).

		Joyce looks on affectionately, explaining that "Beatie was motivated by nothing other than good intentions and notions of progress and self-improvement.
		Joyce takes a solid, conventional page-turner bustling with well-realized characters and douses it with a stream of figments and doubts.

		In Dark Sister, seinem dritten Buch, das in den USA herausgebracht wurde, begibt sich der britische Fantasy-Autor Graham Joyce noch tiefer in das Reich des nackten Grauens als er dies bereits in The Tooth Fairy oder Requiem tat.
		Dark Sister is the third book by British fantasy writer Graham Joyce to be published in the United States--and the author travels further into the realm of pure horror than he did in The Tooth Fairy or Requiem.
		Joyce doesn't write in a style that I particularly admire (his language is overly simplistic in my opinion), the book moves swiftly and its plot is engrossing.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Review: The Limits of Enchantment by Graham Joyce
		Graham Joyce can be shelved with a small group of fascinating writers - Philip Pullman, Angela Carter, Jonathan Carroll, for instance - who pursue adult themes and ideas without shedding childhood fears and obsessions.
		Joyce sets his narrative in the middle of the 1960s, when the outcome may already have seemed assured, but the two sides had not lost their appetite for the fight.
		His narrator is a young woman, Fern Cullen, who lives in a cottage in the Leicestershire countryside with Mammy, a wise woman in her 70s, perhaps a witch or perhaps just a repository of ancient wisdom.

	Review \| Smoking Poppy by Graham Joyce
		Dan's description of the city is a fine example of Graham Joyce's compact, lively, evocative prose.
		Mick is brought to life splendidly by Joyce and is responsible for much of the novel's comic effect.
		Both are very fine; the author's natural optimism, his tendency to guide his stories toward a safe resolution, is nicely balanced by the supernatural elements, which embody the dark side of human experience.

	Amazon.fr : The Tooth Fairy: Livres en anglais: Graham Joyce (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The disquietude in Graham Joyce's coming-of-age tale is that of having too much power as a child--the kind of power that turns your slightest wishes into mayhem.
		This power is granted to the rather ordinary and fearful member (neither the smartest nor the strongest) of a trio of friends growing up in small-town England by his stinky and enigmatic night visitor, the Tooth Fairy.
		Joyce (Requiem) engagingly describes the boys' childhood experiences?sampling drugs, toying with explosives, worrying over acne?and carefully portrays their childlike stoicism in the face of several horrifying tragedies.

	Amazon.ca: Requiem: Books: Graham Joyce (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Graham Joyce came highly recommended by Jonathan Carroll, and that's enough recommendation for me to read a phone book.
		Requiem, Joyce's fourth novel and the first to be published in the U.S., is a quirky book, written in a weirdly flowing style that I associate with several of today's British authors (Mary Gentle is the author that comes to mind immediately, although shades of Geoff Ryman and Greg Egan are also present).
		Graham Joyce in general, and "Requiem" in particular has done so for me. What can I say, he has blended complex characters, in a fascinating setting, and twisted it all subtly with a strong dose of fantasy to create one of the most profoundly engaging and thought provoking novels I have ever read.

		It is a tale of midwifery, alchemy, magic, truth and identity, from an author with the extraordinary ability to blend literature and fantasy with surprising dexterity.
		I think Graham Joyce is a fantastic writer; I know he can do better than this.
		Joyce has found a way to connect us with a world just beyond our senses, a world that we suspect exists in our most primitive brains but perhaps have become too "civilized" to accept anymore.

	Graham Joyce: The Facts of Life
		Graham Joyce's The Facts of Life tells the story of a typical family in Coventry, England following World War II, set apart because, while typical, they are also atypical.
		Joyce uses the appearance of Frank, an illegitimate child of Martha’s youngest daughter, Cassie, to move his novel, which is essentially without plot, along.
		Joyce’s writing is so firmly grounded in the real world, and the post war Coventry he describes is so realistic, that when something inexplicable does occur, it jolts the reader out of complacency and effectively brings home the strangeness of the situation in a manner which most fantasy novels cannot capture.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Limits of Enchantment
		Graham Joyce was born in 1954 in Coventry, England.
		Joyce has produced his usual smooth uncluttered prose in a story that, like many of his novels, nestles out on the edges of the supernatural genre.
		The primary focus of the story is the people living in the 60s and not the era itself, so the background culture is revealed in glimpses, only where it touches the character's lives: through fashion and the news; television programmes and their broader attitudes to life.

	Half Moon Bay Memories & El Granada Observer » Graham Joyce (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Fern, assistant to an eccentric midwife, is “just gone” when she hears the heartbeat of an unborn baby; she is “just gone” when she walks through the forest, letting in all the natural sounds and smells, sensualsations that transport her somewhere we’d all like to be.
		You’d think from my description of Fern, the main character of Graham Joyce’s latest book, “The Limits of Enchantment’, that she was smoking something, but although the book is set in the 1960s– and will bring any of you who lived through and enjoyed that magical era back to front center–Fern is not a hippie.
		This is the first Graham Joyce book I’ve ever read, the first time I’ve read this style of storytelling, and it’s been pure joy.

		There is a ghostly presence hovering throughout the booka nice, haunted feelingand it's clear that Jack is going through a major change of outlook on life.
		Joyce is not a writer content to simply rehash his previous books.
