Praise for Strange Pictures - .
Part Rubik's Cube, part Russian doll, part kaleidoscope and altogether irresistible. Strange Pictures is heady, giddy, genre-blurring stuff and so fizzy with invention and possibility that I almost pity the next novel I read - AJ Finn
This refreshingly original, eerie treat of a puzzle invites the reader to immerse themselves in the darkest of mysteries. So captivating I read it in a day. So disturbing I thought about it all night. Uketsu is a disrupter, the master of quiet horror - Janice Hallett, author of 'The Appeal'
I loved it! It has the twists and fair-play style of a Golden Age whodunit, mixed with a wonderfully innovative use of illustrations. Delightfully macabre and fiendishly clever. Seemingly unconnected stories tie themselves into a complicated knot, which Uketsu masterfully unravels - G.T. Karber, author of 'Murdle'
A superlative puzzle made of multiple parts that interconnect in unexpected ways, told inventively through pictures and text. Every twist and turn steepens the sense of foreboding. Original, intricate and deeply unsettling. I've never read anything like it - Alex Pavesi, author of 'Eight Detectives'
Absolutely loved this clever little banger. An addictive murder mystery that unfolds like pointillism on the page: only when you reach the end, step back and view the bigger picture does each of its parts click into place. Exceptional! - Alice Slater, author of 'Death of a Bookseller'
An intricately woven, at times unsettling, but always mesmerising piece of work - Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants
An eerie reading experience like we've never seen before - Shueisha News
A terrifying sketch mystery in which nine bizarre pictures are intertwined and a terrifying truth emerges - Da Vinci Web
I inhaled this unique mystery from Japan... I couldn't put it down! So original!... The twists are so good. It made me gasp a few times when dots were connected! Loved this!! - Mitsy Bookstagram
