Have you ever accidentally travelled to a parallel dimension? Been kidnapped by a deranged scientist, intent on blowing up planets with his newly developed Ultimate Weapon?

Yes? Oh.. well spare a thought for Carlos anyway - he was suffering from a massive tequila hangover when this happened to him.

Whether running for his life through a dimension populated by giant ducks, eating himself silly in a land made entirely of candy or rescuing re-engineered creatures from the evil scientific lair of Dr Funk, Carlos takes everything in his stride - as you'd expect from a hero who has no idea what is happening to him.

Will Carlos flee the attentions of Dr Funk, and save the colourful array of friends he makes on his adventure?

In That Other Dimension is a rollercoaster ride across the dimensions, full of action, crazy capers and no shortage of humour.

"Matty Millard has a way of making you feel you're sitting there with him as you read: he's telling you a story but he's also beside you, pointing out bits, telling you extra things, it's like having the writer with you and making you smile." – William Gallagher

Hi, I'm Matty Millard, an off-the-wall fantasy author from the West Midlands, England.

I grew up reading Roald Dahl, Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams - and my sense of humour certainly reflects this.

I released my first novel "In That Other Dimension" in January 2014, and I am planning on releasing my next novel in 2023. My novels certainly relate to the above authors - they are fun, tongue in cheek sci-fi / fantasy novels and not to be taken too seriously!

As I've got older I enjoy a much wider range of books. Kurt Vonnegut, Fiona McIntosh, Martin Millar, Robin Hobb, Brent Weeks and of course Tolkien are some of my favourites.

My short story collection "If You Expect The Unexpected, It Won't Be Unexpected Anymore" reflects the variation in my reading, with stories that overlap sci-fi, fantasy and crime genres. They are still unique to me - as every story includes a huge twist!

I hope you enjoy my writing, and if so please find me on social media and let me know!

Matty

A 21st Century Terry Pratchett

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2014

An entertaining romp through parallel dimensions that put this reader in mind of early Terry Pratchett. Eclair the cake dragon stood out as an endearing, well realised character. The author obviously has a very fertile imagination and I look forward to reading more of his work.

An Adventurous Fantasy!

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2015

3.74 STARS!

This book is different from stories I usually read, and the author did warn me. But I was still surprised, both by the tale itself, and by how much I enjoyed the journey of these odd but fascinating characters!

I took so many notes and I'm not sure where to begin... The story went in a lot of unexpected directions, and it didn't really start to come together until about a quarter of the way through. But it was a well thought out tale, and one that held my interest! We learn that every red telephone box in England contains a portal to a parallel dimension, and once our travelers embark on a journey all sorts of strange events unfold. From the villages made of cake and candy, to the giant unicorn mountain, each world is intriguing, and rich with detail. And the obstacles they face on their journey are filled with humor, terror, and adventure!

Carlos and Maria, who were well acquainted in England, reunite in another dimension, and -- along with a hyena, a turtle, a baby cake dragon, and others -- attempt to defeat the evil scientist, Dr. Funk, who is out to destroy one of the dimensions along the way. But the hurdles are great, and the manner in which they must go about saving the land is as unconventional as the rest of the story. An adventurous fantasy that would appeal to anyone who enjoys a story that is truly an escape from reality!

Note: This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. It was full of moments that made me laugh out loud, and if you like Roald Dahl and Terry Pratchett I’d definitely check it out.

Though, I don’t think I’ll be able to look at a bowl of custard in the same way ever again…

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

In That Other Dimension is a novel with which the author obviously set out to have fun, and the influence of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, credited at the end of the book, are quite obvious right from the start. As an occasional reader of both influences, I was drawn to this story of a man discovering parallel dimensions in a phonebox when I first found it in the Litreactor workshop around 18 months ago. The rest of the novel wasn’t quite the tale I had expected, but there was still enough fun to be had to get me to the end.

Matty Millard has obviously worked hard on refining the manuscript and the result is an economically written tale that gets to the point quickly. The editing is solid, and certainly a good example of how independent self-published authors can produce a work as professional as anything that comes out of a publishing house.

What I liked:

• The introductory descriptions of characters, in particular Carlos: ‘He was almost exactly the stereotype usually associated with an average mexican male. Tall, olive skinned, black hair heavily gelled to one side. Smooth talking, definitely a ladies man. Likes a drink. Scottish.’
• The pacing: quick chapters and the right length overall for a comedy story
• The occasional use of an unknown first person narrator (this is difficult to pull off, if only because it’s hard to see why it’s needed, but it emulates the Hitchhikers Guide style pretty well here)
• This is the sort of story where the occasional info-breaks make it tempting for an author to use footnotes. Matty Millard did this in the original version but made the right choice to blend them in to the rest of the text for the final cut - it flows a lot better this way. (NB: this review is for the ebook version - the print copy still has some footnotes.)
• The silliness of the setting was mostly amusing to me. This is the kind of book for anyone who wants to switch off and not use their brain too much and wants a change from their usual serious reading, perhaps as bedtime reading.

What I didn’t like:

• What started as a story with a fair blend of the bizarre with an adult humour edge turned into a story that felt like it was more aimed at children around a 3rd of the way through. Cake dragons and hyenas with springs on their feet are all quite amusing, but it made me wonder why the cover and synopsis appeared to pitch this book at adults. There could be a great market for this title if aimed at 9-10 upwards. The author does cite Enid Blighton as an influence, but I would have liked this story to have carried on down the Doug Adams side of things, as it started out
• The ending. It’s hard to do this without spoilers, but lets just say it seemed a bit too feelgood and convenient to me. Again, it was an ending more reminiscent of a story for kids.
• The word ‘random’ being spelled with the words in an odd order. The narrator says ‘for no other reason than I like it’ to explain this, but this never satisfies me. That sort of gimmick is better saved for hidden meanings, if they’re needed. In this book they wouldn’t be.
• Carlos’s character development turns him into too much of a nice guy. I would have liked more admirable rogue / rule breaker. He starts out this way, but falls too in love with his (literally) sugar coated surroundings.

Buy this book if:

• You have (or are) a younger reader who like vividly imagined but outrageous creations and settings
• You enjoyed Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, or are generally amused by slapstick humour involving food and giant animals
• You like seeing the Dr Who travelling phone-box idea made colossal fun of (which personally I did, I’m always bored by Dr Who)

Quirky and fun

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

I'm not normally a fan of sci-fi (if this novel can be classified as such) so I didn't know what to expect, but the book was recommended to me and I was pleasantly surprised. The story is definitely quirky but an enjoyable read with a well flowing storyline and enough characters that everyone will have a favourite. Mine is probably the pink hyena. :)

What's not to love about a book that contains a world populated by jelly babies,a giant unicorn and a dragon made of cake? It was imaginative, quirky and funny. I enjoyed the easy,chatty writing style,the story flowed along and I was sad to reach the end. I do hope we get a sequel and a chance to meet up with the characters again.

Loved this debut novel - laugh out loud humour all the way through. I read the whole book in a day, just couldn't put it down!

I would recommended this book to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced, light-hearted, intriguing story.
