[...] Alan’s been my favourite writer since I was about 14, and when I recently finished my debut novel, I gave him a proof copy on the off chance he’d be willing to provide a quote for it. Incredibly, and very generously, he did.
Not fantasy so much as post-science Science Fiction, not a game of
thrones so much as a game of misunderstood antique recliners, Josh
Spiller’s striking debut shows us Utopia dwindled to an underfunded sink
estate and threatened by the discovery of a devastating new colour in
the spectrum of the heart. ‘The 8th Emotion’ marks the emergence of a
fascinating fresh voice in the field, and I urge you to feel it as soon as is possible.

[...] Alan’s approach to storytelling was (and is) hugely formative for me.
