Let's hope this series becomes an annual fixture. - Chris Power, The Guardian
If you are new to short stories or are going to get only one short story collection this year then we recommend this one highly - Lovereading UK
An awesome anthology from an exciting publisher. Features some writers you know, alongside those you’ll hear more of in the future. - Waterstones, Reading
Stories that linger long after the first reading, and many that demand to be read again. - hilaireinlondon.wordpress.com
Nicholas Royle’s affair with all things uncanny shines through. - Clare Conlon, Bookmunch
Royle’s (excellent) taste means that little explosions of weirdness or transcendence often erupt amid much well-observed everyday life. - Boyd Tonkin, The Independent
Highly recommended - Kate Saunders, The Times
