'As good as anything he has written...one of Self's grisliest creations. There is no contemporary writer of fiction more perceptive about psychosis' - "Financial Times". 'Self's enjoyable, intelligent collection of savage stories is splendidly satiric. The title story is a brilliant novella that tells of dueling psychiatrists who use mental patients as weapons. You laugh, but you also flinch' - "Scotsman". 'A destabilizing, funny, abundantly Gothic tour de force' - "Guardian".
