I love, love, love this. The coincidences are bonkers but, in a curious way, chime with the aura and tone of the book itself; full of the uncanny, the unsettlingly familiar, the discomfortingly strange. But also somehow warm and reassuring at the same time. Of course the early chapters in particular had a profound impact upon me – particularly the descriptions of the house I grew up in and the garden I spent most of my time in. I remember the bird feeder sending a chill up my spine, for some reason. The tiny details, that’s what makes it.

Obviously, very glad to hear you enjoyed the book as well Dan – I think its a real wonderful piece of work – but then again I am somewhat biased. And, on a wider note, its great to see that a self-published endeavour has grown legs and is reaching people unconnected to family and friends – even it if its finding its weird and spooky connections of its very own…
