✦ Synopsis

Review

Versatile and original, and certainly deserving to be wider read, highly recommended and a great example of the quality of the material chosen by Chomu. --Paul Charles Smith, Empty Your Heart of Its Mortal Dream.

Connell never ceases to surprise and astonish. --Mario Guslandi, Bookgeeks

...like the biographical equivalent of Joyce's Ulysses in miniature. --Peter Tennant, Black Static

...reminiscent of Jorges Luis Borges... ---J.L. Williams, Pank

Bizarre plots, legendary characters, and experimental narrative structures compose a towering wedding cake that joins the unconventional in unholy matrimony. --Grim Reviews

From the Back Cover

"Every generation throws up a few genuine Masters of the Weird. There simply is no hyperbole in the statement that Brendan Connell is a member of this elite group right now, perhaps the most accomplished of them all."
Rhys Hughes , author of A New Universal History of Infamy
