Media Reviews
With outstanding control, Warren manipulates Stevie's voice to create a portrait of horror that in no way reads like a first novel. - Publishers Weekly (Starred) Pick of the Week Kaaron Warren is a fresh, amazingly talented voice out of Australia. You *must* read her work. - Ellen Datlow Hugely and genuinely disturbing - SciFi Now Simply gut-wrenching - Jon Courtenay Grimwood, SFX Powerful stuff. So powerful, in fact, that my throat was hurting with my attempts to keep my emotions under control. I was completely drawn in, totally immersed. I felt ill much of the time. - Russell Kirkpatrick, bestselling author of Across the Face of the World
