'A strange compelling ride into that realm where nothing is what it seems - and where night never really wakes up.' Douglas Kennedy, The Times

'Compelling and chilling ... his father's illustrations heighten the oddness.' Observer
"'The Coma is an unpaginated descent into a hall of mirrors, wherein the writer wants to play games with your head... it's a chilly mood piece - its shadowy tone redolent of Poe and Kafka (and its murky imaginative contours heightened by a series of dark woodcut illustrations by Garland's father)... a strange compelling ride into that realm where nothing is what it seems - and where night never really wakes up.' Douglas Kennedy, The Times 'It's a great story to read, but also a lovely visual object to possess.' Design Week 'Compelling and chilling... his father's illustrations heighten the oddness' Observer"
