'Ricochets between the supernatural and the suburban ... it fizzes.' Guardian
'Stories of antler eaters, fish smokers and suburban psychopaths make up this often startling and always disturbing collection.' Duncan McLean
'One of the country's finest writers.' GQ
'Demanding and rewarding, lyrical and vernacular, smart and entertaining.' Times Literary Supplement
'The maniac energy of Kerouac pulses throughout the prose. A disturbing, magical blend of reality and
fantasy.' Scotsman
