“Whether Antwerp is a literate thriller or thrilling literature or—most likely—a combination of both, among other things it’s an irresistible meditation on the movies and all the memories and madness they evoke and inspire. Nicholas Royle is a novelist for our time.”—Steve Erickson
An independent US director, Johnny Vos, is making a low-budget biopic about the Belgian surrealist artist Paul Delvaux. When two prostitutes end up murdered, English film critic Frank Warner, in town to interview Vos, turns investigative journalist and becomes personally involved when his own girlfriend goes missing.
Macabre and erotic, Antwerp is an exceptional literary thriller.
Nicholas Royle was born in 1963 in Manchester, England, where he now lives. He is the author of four novels, including The Director’s Cut.

Review:
?A gory but erotic thriller? This is a chilling and exhilarating read? Observer ?Beautifully written? a mesmerising blend of surrealism, satire and thriller? a fictional answer to the strangest art-house noir? Independent ?Antwerp is lit expressionistically, with a palette that combines the vulgar neons of the city?s red light district with a silver nitrate glow. Cinema-going has clearly equipped Royle with a keen understanding of the mechanics of voyeurism, and he repays the debt by imitating the grammar of cinema? Independent on Sunday
