Imagine Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected adapted for the screen by Tarantino and you're pretty much there -- Laurence Phelan * Independent on Sunday * Genuinely excellent * The Sun * Sussex writer Hayles has a dark, skewed outlook on the world and combined with a fiendish sense of humour, it makes these stories well worth the time * Glasgow Herald * Hayles nails wildly different voices with a few short strokes, then washes it all down with a flagon of treacly black humour * Arena * Hunter S Thompson would have loved these tales. Beautifully weird and told in deceptively simple prose * Daily Express * Hayles offers a second dose of black humour and testosterone in equal measure...hilarious * Big Issue * Roald Dahl on Ritalin * Time Out * Hayles turns a wry, detached eye on the superficially reasonable ambitions of those driven insane by modern life...Hayles has a nicely twisted mind * Tribune * Finely offbeat...original, dark, sick, nasty...and often hilarious * Sunday Sport * Damned funny. Sharp, punchy, writing, well executed ideas and lashings of irony make for a gripping read * Knave Magazine *
