Recenzii

“Weird, bold, intimate, and devastating, The Ragpicker is shatteringly lovely. Easily the best thing I’ve read this year.”—Kerstin Hall, author of The Border Keeper and Asunder

"If humanity is information, what happens when that information degrades? This astonishing book takes us into a future that feels utterly real, and introduces us to characters we can't help but love as painfully as they learn to love each other. Gorgeous, strange and unforgettable."—Kate Heartfield, author of The Embroidered Book

"Surreal, lyrical, and boundlessly inventive, The Ragpicker is unlike any novel I’ve ever read. An apocalyptic tale with a bloody beating heart at its center.”—Keith Rosson, award-winning author of Fever House and Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeons

"An engulfing, absorbing trek through a unique post-apocalyptic Earth where the titular character is haunted by the remnants of a former age and yet discovers what is lost is not necessarily gone forever.”—Eeleen Lee, author of Liquid Crystal Nightingale​

"Equal parts cosy and horror, The Ragpicker explores our human need for love, for forgiveness—and for meaning, illuminated in flashes via ancient texts and even a lightning-strike of a one-act play. A gem of a post-apocalyptic novel about kindness and hope.”—Genoveva Dimova, author of Foul Days

"The Ragpicker is an action-laden quest story of a girl and a wanderer and a baby. It’s a mesmeric post-apocalyptic narrative with titillating hand combat scenes. It’s a story full of heart and angst, courage and belief.”— Eugen Bacon, Aurealis Magazine

"The Ragpicker is a genre-defying mashup of post-apocalyptic greatness … comprised of one-part post-apocalyptic doomsday with an undertone of darkness for the average everyday horror fan; one-part science fiction with enough emotional edge that hardcore fans of Ursula K. LeGuin will love and adore--as well as a modern touch of traditional cyberpunk that tech-junkies will recognize and appreciate."— Jon R. Myers, The Horror Zine
