Overnight Signed & Dedicated Edition

The height of crafted eloquence -- SAMANTHA HARVEY
A revelatory journey into the teeming life of the night. Moving, engrossing, essential -- KATHERINE MAY
I loved Overnight. It is both gripping and consoling, and full of an intelligent, querying tenderness for its subjects. I was never sure whether I'd be moved to laughter or tears: often, it was both, and in the end I was sad to leave Richards' humane and witty company -- SARAH PERRY
In Overnight, Dan Richards introduces us to the shadowy, starlit world of postal workers, night nurses, twenty-four-hour industry, late night radio, search and rescue. We meet desperate rough sleepers, racing demons, new mothers . . . and what shines through most clearly is the humour and the pathos, the remarkable diversity in what it means to live, to work, to love. A lucid dream of a book, one that will keep you up late reading -- CAL FLYN
Dan Richards' writing spans great gulfs of emotion and experience. He is witty and profound and his curiosity and empathy know no bounds. He takes us deep into the night and brings it utterly alive. He fills that space in our dreams with the reality - of what goes on when the sun goes down -- PHILIP HOARE
In Overnight, Richards casts the night and its many activities anew to create a book offering a rare type of solace. I've been almost pathologically afraid of the dark my entire life, but Overnight is a kaleidoscopic book, illuminating at every turn dark corners of both the night and our collective minds, until the idea of darkness became appealing, even to me -- ALI MILLAR
I found Overnight to be a moving and sympathetic mix of the personal and the observational. Dan Richards captures that out-of-time, dislocated, slightly surreal quality that wakeful overnight hours possess, whatever the cause. By turns emotionally raw, fascinating and even a little spooky -- KASSIA ST CLAIR
Overnight takes us to hidden worlds that lie so far from most of our daily lives, but exist in such proximity to them. Dan Richards is an excellent guide, and this is a hugely fascinating, funny and moving book -- CHRIS POWER
Humane, thoughtful and forensically observant, Richards makes the night his own, as he interrogates the pulse and rhythm of our mirror world, the one most of us barely notice -- JON GRIMWOOD
Full of empathy, insight and wit, Dan Richards shines a powerful light on the people of the night, highlighting how everyone has a valuable story to tell. In that, it is a kind of democracy of the night -- COLIN MACINTYRE (Mull Historical Society)
