Daily Mail gives thumbs up to reverb

Posted at 14:21 on 10 Feb 2006


reverb's recent title How to Disappear Completely has received a great boost from a warm review in the Daily Mail. The review ends:

"The author invests his characters with a stark, wry honesty that makes the book feel raw, occasionally funny, and convincing. The denouement, when the dust has settled, is as touching as it is satisfying."

Kishkindha described as "irresistible"

Posted at 16:56 on 24 Jan 2006


Kishkindha has had a glowing review by Septimus Waugh (son of Evelyn Waugh) in the Catholic Herald. A few highlights:
  • "The book is artfully constructed to produce a climax that equals that of the most accomplished popular fiction."
  • "It has the pace and excitement of a Flashman novel, but Turner is no Flashman. He is a gentle, witty observer of life, full of appreciation for its many intricacies."
  • "The mixture of anthropological treatise, history, memoir and adventure story is irresistible."

More free content from reverb - and more publicity

Posted at 18:01 on 15 Dec 2005


Many thanks to Steve Redwood, author of Who Needs Cleopatra?, for offering his splendid and disturbing short story Off the Shelf to visitors here for free.

The story adds to the wide range of excellent material available for free on our download page.

Reverb's groundbreaking approach to modern publishing has caught the eye of the media again recently: in addition to a feature on names to watch in last week's Bookseller magazine, we're going to be on next Tuesday's BBC Radio 4 You and Yours programme, talking about the future of reading and publishing.
