What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Gleeful anarchy … you’re bound to have a favorite character to follow.” “San Francisco Book Review “on “The Mechanical Messiah and Other Marvels of the Modern Age””“It’s easy to see why Rankin has a huge cult following. Drawing on a rich vein of English humour that encompasses Python, Adams and Stanshall, his comedy-fantasies are filled with pop culture references, music hall wordplay and ironic quips galore.” “BBC”magazine on “The Japanese Devil Fish Girl and Other Unnatural Attractions””“The publisher describes Rankin as a ‘beloved British Eccentric.’ Wrong. He’s a total wack job. But if you can understand him, you’ll find, oddly enough, that the more you think about it, the funnier it gets.” “Kirkus Reviews” on “Necrophenia””
