Critics Review

‘The blackest of black humour. One of “the year’s most essential books”’Daily Mail

Horrific and hilarious… a dystopic vision of an England that would have given Orwell the heebie-jeebies’ Independent

‘Now you have a whole new reason to be scared. The Scarfolk Annual is essential readingFortean Times

‘Hilarious. As on target and inventively addressed as anything in the Hitchhiker’s Guide series. [Littler] translates the sensibility to a 21st Century audience in a way that no other writer descended from [Douglas] Adams has come close to achieving’ The Beat

‘The syphilitic twin of Royston Vasey. Debauched and wrong and sickening and very very good’ Robin Ince

‘The Scarfolk Annual demands that you read it multiple times to decode every secret inside it. It’s so well-constructed that it will catch out those who only look at things for their face value. A brilliant work of satire’ The Quietus

‘Deceptively simple … an unpredictably wonderful, brilliant piece of political satire’ Boing Boing

One of the funniest things there is’ Mark Gatiss

‘Always a joy to see their little faces darken on the morning of December 25th when they unwrap the Scarfolk Annual’ Ian Rankin

‘It deserves to be discovered on bookshelves by poor unsuspecting souls for years to come’ We Are Cult

In these brain shattering days, Scarfolk is your guide and only friend … Bitingly funny, sometimes scary, and always brilliant’ Richard Kadrey, author of Sandman Slim

‘Funny nostalgia from a parallel universe not entirely unlike ours’ Al Murray

‘Not just a satirical look at the present via a warped nostalgic lens, but also a strangely beautiful graphic design object. Funny, creepy & an Orwellesque triumph of graphic design’ Anne Billson

‘Delightfully terrifying’ Gigslutz

‘Funny, bitter, weird and chilling in equal measure, and never less than witty and wonderful’ Warren Ellis
