"A remarkable novel... full of charm and - literally - enchantment." - Los Angeles Times

"If Charles Dickens and Raymond Chandler had collaborated on a book, the result might be something much like Steve Szilagyi's `Photographing Fairies'... beatifully written." - Seattle Times

"Delightfully whimsical . . . This sweet little tale turns darker by degrees as little acts of viciousness multiply and the whimsy becomes almost terrifying. It's a delicately constructed maze at turns funny and frightening, and leaves readers perplexed and entertained." -- The Milwaukee Journal

"Szilagyi has written a sprightly first novel full of gentle humor, weird sex and unlikely happenings. Szilagyi writes with a sort of careless half-smile that keeps the reader reading. Photographing Fairies is a small, deft enchantment." -- Kansas City Star

"Extraordinary . . . While Szilagyi walks the line separating the magical from the mundane, he also weaves together fragments of fiction and history." -- The London Free Press
"An adeptly controlled cross between a mystery, a fantasy and a historical novel." -- The Cleveland Plain Dealer

"An enjoyable mystery-fantasy." -- The San Diego Union-Tribune

"Brilliant." -- Buffalo News
