Praise for Will Elliott

"I couldn't put Elliott's novel down. It's fantastic . . . An entertaining mixture of Palahniuk and David Lynch."

—Independent on Sunday

"Inventive, scary and darkly humorous novel has a dash of Stephen King and a hint of Lovecraft but is really sui generis. It may be a true one-off but that doesn't stop me wanting more."

—Observer

"As much surreal poetry as macabre thrills . . . this is a first novel of real promise. At his best, Elliott writes with a power commensurate with the originality of his vision. It is not just that he has unusually nasty visions to put on the page but he has the ability to make us share them."

—TLS

"Elliott's clowns are as unnerving as they come."

—The Guardian

"A bravura performance, a disquieting glimpse into a richly imagined and horribly plausible parallel universe."

—Financial Times

"Dark, wickedly inventive comedy . . . Awesome."

—Maxim

"An astonishing book which combines vicious slapstick and relentless black comedy with a breathtakingly vivid, visual style . . . riotous gore-fest which is immensely entertaining, often hilarious and contains not a little pathos. Completely unforgettable."

—Tangled Web
