'I bought all three novels of the TerrorTome trilogy in a bargain slipcase edition and have read two of them already. Albeit in the wrong order' DERMOT O'LEARY

'Garth's novels steered me through all two hundred and thirty seven syndicated episodes of TV's !mpossible' RICK EDWARDS

Garth Marenghi: the gift that keeps on giving.

Garth always delivers, his readings are perfect, sure shunned by some but that only shows there lack of qualifications in assessing/desserning his literary genius. maybe one day a classification of accolades will fully encompas the necessary prase the author deserves for his service to the literary world.

Garth Marenghi does it again with a very funny third installment. The jokes do get a little repetitive if you listen for a couple hours at a time, but there's always something in there that'll make you laugh out loud.

Very funny
