Critics Review
Eren caught my attention from the very first page. I really enjoyed it. Sure-footed, distinctive, strange, poetic. Simon P. Clark is a truly interesting new voice.

This is a beautiful, illustrated short fables about the power of stories. - Financial TimesSure to appeal to older readers with a taste for the dark side, and probably to adults as well … This is an impressive debut from young author Simon P. Clark, who doesn’t shy away from pushing his story to its darkest reaches. The ending will leave you shell-shocked. - Independent, TEEN BOOK OF THE MONTHEren will both satisfy and excite your imagination. - The Bookseller ‘Book of the Week’If you let the story in, let Eren in, I think you’ll be delighted and horrified by the inevitable conclusion. - We Heart YADark, moody and easy to get lost in, Eren is a great book that makes audiences really wonder about the power of a good story. - The SproutEren is a sophisticated look at truth and lies and the area inbetween inhabited by stories. On the other, it’s a simple tale of a family in crisis. You’re never quite sure what to believe and it never quite feels that the ground is steady beneath your feet. It takes skill to juggle all these balls and still involve the reader to such an extent they can’t put your book down, but Clark carries it off with aplomb. This is storytelling at its best. - The Book BagAbout The Author
