About Michael Marshall Smith
Michael Marshall Smith was born and raised – itinerantly – in the USA and the UK. Since leaving University he has been writing: for radio, for the movies, for TV and for print. After the success of Spares, Warner Brothers have already bought the rights to his third novel, One of Us, amid intense competition. His novels are bestsellers in translation around the world. Mike lives in North London, where he is currently working on his fourth novel and a number of film projects while providing a warm place for his cats to sleep.
Reviews for Spares
‘Comic, cruel, twisted and surreal’ EMPIRE ‘Some books stretch the imagination. This one mugs it’ DAVID BADDIEL ‘Tense, exciting and at times very, very funny… He’s worth every penny’ TIME OUT ‘Witty, hard-edged and coruscatingly imaginative… Compellingly off-kilter’ NEW SCIENTIST ‘Spares blurs imaginative surrealism and hard-bitten horror with a storytelling skill that can only be described as pure genius’ VENUE ‘A compulsively readable melding of hardboiled narrative and hardware invention’ PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
