Review Quotes:

"Brutal, bloody and haunting. Leo's writing slithers beneath your skin, weaves through your veins, and settles into the shadowy corners of your brain where it's not easily forgotten." - Renee Miller

"I believe Leo X Robertson is one of the most flavourful and exciting ingredients of the transgressive fiction new wave. To be uttered in the same breath as Stokoe and held in the same reverence as Thomas Moore or Chris Zeischegg." - Chris Kelso, author of the DREGS trilogy

"As carefully crafted as it is imaginatively conceived, Leo X Robertson's aptly titled fiction collection Unfortunates is engaging, nicely written, and often as thought-provoking and challenging as it is entertaining. One of the better up-and-coming talents I've had the pleasure of discovering in recent years, Robertson's work is not to be missed." - Greg F Gifune, author of The Bleeding Season.

"Much like seeing the aftermath of a car accident, Leo X Robertson writes the kind of horrifying, all-too-human stories that keep your eyes clearly affixed to the beautifully written prose no matter how grotesque or emotionally scarring they are. And I always want more." - Sam Richard (Sabbath of the Fox-Devils, To Wallow in Ash & Other Sorrows)
