[A] Compelling debut. Suspend all rational thought and enjoy the - rather unsettling - ride Belfast Telegraph

The most original unreliable narrator and anti-hero youll encounter this year, or maybe even this decade. Crime book, literary fiction, contemporary tragedy; it doesnt matter what pot you put it in, just read it. Crime Fiction Lover

Knew it would be unsettling & challenging but Carnivore is moving & tender too. Lyon is the Philip Ridley of South London. Jon Appleton
