"The Coma" is a bold step towards the creation of a new genre, perhaps even a new art form; Kanuo Ishiguro, Observer Books of the Year
"The Coma" ia an unpaginated descent into a hall of mirrors, wherein the writer wants to play games with your head…It's a chilly mood piece its shadowy tone redolent of Poe and Kafka (and its murky imaginative contours heightened by a series of dark woodcut illustrations by Garland's father)…A strange and compelling ride into that realm where nothings is what is seems and where night never really wakes up. Douglas Kennedy, The Times.
