Reviews
“Pornogram by Osric Allen, Robert Temple Books. Another idiosyncratic novel, this time riffing off notions around genetic engineering, Crazed, funny, unconventional. By the author of The Dark Tunnel. One of those books you're not likely to find in the average branch of Waterstones. If you like, for instance, Carter Kaplan's Tally Ho! Cornelius then you'll probably enjoy Pornogram.†Mike Moorcock, Author
