Reviews
A symbiosis of words and images that propels the reader on a breathless ride into the realms of spirit, wonder, and terror. The words are sharp, the images sublime, the experience unique. This is a book not to be missed. Ian Whates - Author of Pelquin's Comet Cockshaw's visually haunting images perfectly suit Malan's enthralling storytelling. Jay Johnstone - Tolkien Artist Epic and haunting. Viscerally realised in a shadowy dream-time, where warrior courage and philosophical questioning are needed to open the way. Ricardo Pinto - Author of The Stone Dance of the Chameleon trilogy The images impacted on me first. As an artist, that's where my eye was inevitably drawn. A dark journey indeed, through a strange, disturbing abstraction of powerful photographic and digital visuals. I haven't encountered anything quite like it before. But then, engaging with the written story in the first half, and the more demanding poetic concrete of the second half ... it is a symbiosis of words and images that takes one on a darkly epic and nightmare voyage. A quite extraordinary feat of the imagination. Jim Burns - BSFA & Nebula Award-winning SF & Fantasy Artist
