What do reviewers say about Dance of Death and Poison?
Iris fans consider this remarkable. Others find it austere to a fault. But that's precisely the point, this is restraint as an argument. Elegant melancholy, not gothic shock.Dance of Death
Sweet enough to draw people in, complex enough to split opinion. That's not a flaw, that's the point. Poison wears like a dare, and the wearer who chooses it knows exactly what they're carrying.Poison
