Reviews

One of the best novels about film I have come across, a tortuous and tortured tale about Quinsigamond's surviving cinema
*Guardian*

Mesmerizing...light-years away from your garden-variety thriller. The Skin Palace may remind you of Blade Runner or the novels of William Gibson, but O'Connell has his own dazzling tale to tell...Wickedly clever
*Seattle Times*

It's a measure of O'Connell's immense talent that, while creating his absolutely original and hyperbolic world, he also paints a striking vision of the haunting ways in which life and art mirror each other
*Publishers Weekly*

the sheer chutzpah of his enterprise sweeps you in
*Crime Time*

as original and microscopically etched as a thumbprint
