The Glorious Dead

I'm a longtime fan of Justin's writing, full of wit, perception and acute emotional honesty. He remains the only person I know who can casually break your heart in the detail of an Instagram caption. The Glorious Dead is his best novel yet, demonstrating he's one of the most exciting writers around. Immensely clever and moving, dark and mature, a reflection on loss, on our compartmentalised selves, delivered in a gripping mystery Mhairi McFarlane
The Glorious Dead is deliciously dark, witty and devastatingly astute. It is a novel filled with idle gossip, life-ruining rumours, the shady underbelly of our lives that we know we shouldn't be engaging in but is impossible to resist. Myers writes his characters masterfully, his controlled and precise storytelling leading us down a path that feels more dangerous and thrilling with each step. What might we discover about ourselves, or worse, about the people closest to us? I didn't want it to end Laura Kay
A rarity, a novel so achingly beautiful but which packs the mightiest of punches. Prepare to have your heart ripped out and trampled upon. Full to the brim with pain, longing, regret, love and fresh hope, this is a masterfully told story John Marrs
I wolfed down this brilliant book. If I wasn't laughing it was only because I was gasping at the twists. Intricately plotted with gloriously grotesque characters who have stuck with me ever since Adam Kay
When all the world's a stage, it can feel like everyone is playing a part. Justin Myer's The Glorious Dead delivers a propulsive and Oscar worthy performance, richly inhabited by a loveable and superbly flawed cast. Told from the cliff-edge of grief, this is a novel that leans over and looks down at the abyss, whilst never losing its footing. Alex Allison
Myers does it again - crafting a moving mediation on art, love, loss and what it means to be happy in a world that has passed you by. The dialogue is deliciously catty. The prose precise and beautiful. You'll wish Laurie Blount was your friend. Until you very much don't Carl Anka
