Critics Review
Facebook mindfuck for the bollocks generation. I loved every funny, filthy word of it
Facebook mindfuck for the bollocks generation. I loved every funny, filthy word of it – Nicholas Royle
Wildlife is hilarious, frightening and bonkers, like forcing a sheet of blotter acid into your computer’s floppy-disk slot… Stretch’s second outing finds the author somewhere between a demented, devilish David Attenborough and William S. Burroughs, exposing the disgraceful, manic behaviour of the strangest of all living creatures: ourselves – Richard Milward
It is heartening to discover that the contemporary novel can still do amazing things… A serious meditation on technology and individualism. Ballardian in scope, and equally as exciting as his brutal debut – Lee Rourke * Independent *
