‘An excellent piece of storytelling, reminiscent of Roald Dahl at his bleakest in the way it sets up the reader and protagonist. Great fun’ – Peter Tennant (referring to the title story)

'Keen has the ability to draw you in, exploring his own experiences and ideas while at the same time invoking and attacking the reader's own sensibilities, sensitivities and insecurities from every conceivable angle. Once you start on any of these tales, you are no longer on safe ground.' – Noel Megahey, To The Last Page

‘These are adroitly written tales with an intelligent rationale. Having said that, they don't work their magic solely on an intellectual level, they work their way into the dark places of the underbelly of the mind and pull plenty of emotional triggers, too.’ – Simon Clark

‘By parts noirish, mischievous and heart-stopping. From the strange and dreamlike to straight thriller.’ – Terry Grimwood

‘Roger Keen’s writing draws me into scenes so vividly that the experience lasts well beyond the last page of the book.’ – Jules Lucton
