Everything Will Swallow You by Tom Cox

Have you ever been curious about how people live when nobody is watching? Have you wondered whether there's more going on than meets the eye?

'Every new book by Tom Cox is a treat, and this, his third novel, confirms his stature as one of our very best authors .. a laureate of the rural landscape, its mysteries and its folkloric magic... a very funny, very moving novel' - The New World


‘Charming portrait of friendship and loneliness’ - Daily Mail


'A deeply comforting tale of record collecting, magical creatures and a lovingly knitted cardigan ... an intricate yarn of friendship, loyalty' - Guardian


‘A richly textured book, with elements of magicrealism; it celebrates the relationships that warm us in this flicker in eternity we call life. It’s a funny and inventive book with the most beautiful heartbreaking ending’ - Irish Times


‘Cox is a true English original with a distinctive style and quirky bent’ - Mail on Sunday


'If the late great Douglas Adams and the living legend Ali Smith teamed up to write a soulful buddy story loosely based on the adventures of Wallace And Gromit (with less cheese and more vinyl), you'd have something almost but nowhere near absolutely unlike Everything Will Swallow You by Tom Cox' - Simon Haisell, host of Footnotes and Tangents


'What a great book. England at its magical best. Also an incredible, moving portrait of friendship. Different from anything I've read before, so full of truth, so complex and so funny, but it also made me cry. I wanted to start it again as soon as I'd finished it' - Fiona Robertson, author of Stone Lands


'A book brimming with friendship, connections, music, loss, place, humour, and so much more - I LOVED it' - Brigit Strawbridge Howard, author of Dancing with Bees


‘A safe haven for a host of endangered fantasies, musings and stories’ - Alice Lowe

Tom Cox was born in Nottinghamshire in 1975 and now lives in Devon.
