Imagine Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected adapted for the screen by Tarantino and you're pretty much there
Laurence Phelan, Independent on Sunday
Genuinely excellent
The Sun
Sussex writer Hayles has a dark, skewed outlook on the world and combined with a fiendish sense of humour, it makes these stories well worth the time
Glasgow Herald
Hayles nails wildly different voices with a few short strokes, then washes it all down with a flagon of treacly black humour
Arena
Hunter S Thompson would have loved these tales. Beautifully weird and told in deceptively simple prose
Daily Express
Hayles offers a second dose of black humour and testosterone in equal measure...hilarious
Big Issue
Roald Dahl on Ritalin
Time Out
Hayles turns a wry, detached eye on the superficially reasonable ambitions of those driven insane by modern life...Hayles has a nicely twisted mind
Tribune
Finely offbeat...original, dark, sick, nasty...and often hilarious
Sunday Sport
Damned funny. Sharp, punchy, writing, well executed ideas and lashings of irony make for a gripping read
