“An accumulation of fiery indignities and small moments of beauty brings the dreamlike narrative to an explosive climax and a conclusion that’s both optimistic and satisfying... This lush allegory of defiance and growing up resembles a sci-fi version of Daniel Clowes’s Ghost World.” — Publishers Weekly “These are broken people in a broken world... but so are we. The tenderness that Julian Hanshaw finds for his characters will touch you as deeply as his dystopian sci-fi visuals will haunt your dreams.” — Moby
