Praise
“Dense, haunted, shot through with black humour.” —Raw Vision
“Nick Blinko is a madman. That’s not intended as pejorative opinion but rather a statement of plain fact.” —Maximum RocknRoll
“The insights it offers into the punk scene and into the unsettling landscapes of its author’s mind are fascinating. The whole book has a distinct sense of coming from a mind unlike most we are used to.” —The Big Issue
“An intensely written and authentically Gothic look at the life of a man suffering extreme mental distress.” —Detour
“Fascinating and compelling.” —Kerrang
