Reviews

[Karl · Rating 5 out of 5]

An outstanding story written by Mr. Watt about a man existing in a dull decedent and lavish life and then being Ushered into a strange and bizarre reality.

Mr. Watt writes so well and visually making this perhaps the best story I have read so far this year.

I highly recommend this story. The first 25 copies will have a signed and numbered tipped in plate of a theatrical theme.

Is there a better life in this reality?

Watt ushers us into a well written front row seat of intelligence. The story mode gave me a little yawn, but I really dig how the story turned out.

This is copy 8/25 with signed author book plate.
