Reviews
A bedside story for a country in a coma. Brutal. Brilliant. -- Joe Stretch
Like Anthony Burgess and Chuck Palahniuk went on a pub crawl in twenty-first-century Britain, got out of their heads and decided to write a book together. Steve Hollyman's debut is extraordinarily ambitious, sophisticated and compelling --Nicholas Royle
