INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Carey, Edward

Foulsham

(3) 4-6 Iremonger series. In the second book of the trilogy, an epidemic in a filthy London borough controlled by the creepy Iremonger family makes people turn into ordinary objects and objects into people, while multiple eccentric narrators with distinct voices raise questions about the disposability of both. Carey maintains a relentless pace and contributes appropriately macabre, oily black-and-white portraits reminiscent of Edward Gorey.
