Old-school creepy . . . five-star horror
A rollicking good read. Playful, inventive and vivid, with addictive narrative drive. Astonishingly accomplished
Binge has written a profound and elegiac story that examines science, faith and the concept of humanity itself ā what it means to live and die, to yearn and strive, and all the spaces in between. I will be thinking about this one for a long time
Thrilling, intelligent sci-fi with a touch of horror and a triumphant conclusion
