Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Hughes (Engelbrecht Again!) spins an absurdist tale of a supernatural defense agency protecting British interests at home and abroad from monstrous threats, the most monstrous being (of course) the French. Twisthorn Bellow is a bad-tempered golem accidentally soaked in nitroglycerin, assisted by a semi-vocal giant hand and a talking aborted fetus named Miss Stake. Together, they recruit or eliminate other supernatural entities while fending off constant threats delivered unfailingly by a bicycle messenger who is also the president of France. Eventually, as narrated by the Eiffel Tower, they confront the chief villain in his subterranean lair beneath Strasbourg. Wordplay, fractured classical mythology, pop culture and homages to fellow authors, above all the late Philip Jose Farmer, are overwhelmed by heavy satire that turns the tone from gonzo to grim, delivering more temper tantrum than tomfoolery. (Sept.)

Review

Rhys Hughes is so completely his own creature that words fail when it comes to describing his work; 'Rhys Hughesian?' I don't think that's gonna fly. How about just ODD? But odd in the best possible way: the kind of odd that is, at times, goofy (I like the word 'imbecilic') and yet you are always keenlyaware that he is a super genius, that he is toying with his reader like a madman (a genius madman having way too much fun) poking and prodding a little tiny octopus with a spoon. In a good way. -- Mike Mignola; creator of Hellboy

Just beginning to read [previous title by author]: saliva already forming on chin... -- Brian Aldiss

Highly original and chimerical monsters. -- S.T. Joshi

Rhys Hughes seems almost the sum of our planet's literature... Few living fictioneers approach this chef's sardonic confections, certainly not in English. -- Michael Moorcock
