Mr. Fox by Oyeyemi, Helen by Oyeyemi, Helen

It's a bright afternoon in 1938 and Mary Foxe is in a confrontational mood. St. John Fox, celebrated novelist, hasn't seen her in six years. He's unprepared for her afternoon visit, not last because she doesn't exist. He's infatuated wit her. But he also made her up.

Will Mr. Fox meet his muse's challenge, to stop murdering his heroines and explore something of love? What will his wife Daphne think of this sudden change in her husband? And can there be a happy ending - this time?
