‘Dining on what-might-have-beens’ – The Blasphemer by Nigel Farndale
‘The silly quasi-theological conversations between Daniel Kennedy and his various interlocutors are preposterous and yet, given the prevailing cultural mood, they are depressingly accurate. Unfortunately, I don’t think that Farndale is aiming for satire — and even if he is, his radar is well off the mark.

‘With poems that tell stories, and stories with all the rhythmic charm of poems’ – Blue Eyed Boy Bait, Issue 1
‘Providing short, sweet and not so sweet stories and poems, the first issue of Blue Eyed Boy Bait is impressive in its range. A range of exciting writers prove that the best stories aren’t necessarily three hundred pages long and that flash fiction is an exciting, if largely unacknowledged literary development.’ Claire Sedgwick reviews Blue Eyed Boy Bait, Issue 1
