HellSans

“HellSans is speculative fiction at its best: political, fearless, smart, badass. And also with tons of horrific body horror and cruelty from just about everyone. To put it down is unthinkable, you care about everything and everyone all the time.”
– Mariana Enriquez, author of International Booker shortlisted The Dangers of Smoking in Bed.

PRAISE FOR GOBLIN BY EVER DUNDAS

“In my opinion, the best debut fiction by a Scottish author since 2012. Profoundly affecting, intellectually challenging and beautifully written. An instant classic of modern mythology.”
– Stuart Kelly, The Scotsman

“Terrific… Goblin brims throughout with reckless joy.”
– Peter Ross, The Guardian

“Enthralling… a captivating debut… Dundas presents us with an iconic protagonist: a powerful imaginative force who looks beyond the façade of 20th Century Britain.”
– Alastair Mabbott, The Herald

“A standout debut…sophisticated.”
– Nick Barley, Herald, Books of the Year 2017

“Confounds your expectations and enchants your sensibilities… an indelible and haunting novel.”
– Alistair Braidwood, Scots Whay Hae

“A love letter to the outcasts, rebels and underdogs … a dazzling narrative … Unflinching, raw and diamond bright.”
– Megan Kenny, Disclaimer Magazine

“Magic Realist stories often see their hero slipping off somewhere fantastical to escape the harshness of the real world. In a good story, you’re often not sure whether these moments of magic are real or the imaginative embellishments of a vulnerable mind. In a great story, you’re left feeling like it really doesn’t matter. Goblin is a great story.”
– Ross McIndoe, The Skinny
