`So you liked Irvine Welsh? Read Carnivore' Cosmopolitan `Jonathan Lyon has written the best gay debut novel in YEARS' Johann Hari `[A] Compelling debut. Suspend all rational thought and enjoy the - rather unsettling - ride' Belfast Telegraph `[Leander is] a heartless hero for the millennial generation' Standpoint magazine `The most original unreliable narrator and anti-hero you'll encounter this year, or maybe even this decade.
