Simon Paul Woodward

“He captures the rebellious teenage spirit of Stan and his best friend Kalina well, and weaves around them a captivating world filled with bullies and monsters against the backdrop of Stan and Kalina’s never-ending attempts to make a zombie movie.”

British Fantasy Society

“The ideas, the language, the grasp of how people really talk, and think, and how close the dark is to all of us… this is an exceptional collection.”

Michael Marshall Smith New York TimesBestselling author

“Steampunk, AI, military weapons and fears of the dark web are brought together in a kind of tech-mashup and it is all set against the current backdrop of political uncertainty, immigration debate and race relations. Woodward tempers the fear of a thriller with a strong and determined teen protagonist who follows his rigid moral code whether he knows it or not.”
