Critics Review

“This one will stay with you like your shadow, as hard to shake off and as impossible to pin down.” – Guardian

I greatly admired Conor O’Callaghan’s Nothing on Earth, as fine as it is frightening * JOHN BANVILLE *
An original story, brilliantly told … extraordinary, low-key and pitch-perfect * Irish Times *
This one will stay with you like your shadow, as hard to shake off and as impossible to pin down. * Guardian *
Strange, beautiful and quietly terrifying * Donal Ryan, author of THE SPINNING HEART *
Quite extraordinary … like many great works, it could so easily have all gone wrong if it hadn’t been done exactly right. All that can be done is to give it the highest recommendation: read it, and find out for yourself * Sunday Independent *
O’Callaghan’s stylish, dark yarn triumphs through the clarity of his prose and confident handling of ambivalence at its most menacing * Eileen Battersby *
Strange and beguiling … very well written, conjuring up a weird listless world * Irish Examiner *
[P]owerfully haunting … horror of the most resonant kind … Nothing on Earth is less than two hundred pages long, yet its implications and reverberations carry more weight than many novels three times its length. * Los Angeles Review of Books (LAB) *
Hauntingly beautiful * Sunday Business Post *
Beautifully written and carefully crafted * Hot Press *
