Visitors wrote in the comments books:
You feel on another planet, in a dark and creepy and dreamy atmosphere
Darkly traumatic… in a good way
Unsettling, engrossing, strange
Spooky, yet striking, I could relate. Insomnia ‘plagues’ me sometimes…
Diverse, dark & fascinating
Review of 3am in This Is Tomorrow and interview with AK in 3rd Dimension.
