Reviews

"One of the most distinctive new voices in British writing." –The Guardian

"In McDowall's surreal vision, [a] neglected space becomes a symbol of the vacuousness of the modern world - yet also of its extraordinary, mythic possibilities... It's a perfect image of Pomona's nightmarish allure and McDowall's power to suck us in." –Evening Standard

"Brilliantly creepy and compelling, [it] darts back and forth in time and disorientingly blurs the divide between horror games and a much more nightmarish reality... The piece remains forever slippery about recognizing evil, challenging us with the moral ambiguities of its mobius strip nature." –The Independent
