"The disintegration of a man, living in a nightmare within a nightmare. Evocative and haunting." ALAN GRANT, bestselling author and prolific comic writer for Batman and 2000AD.
"D. A. Butcher’s Eyes of Sleeping Children resonates deeply with our present moment. It is at once a pulse-pounding psychological thriller and a meditation on family and love and resilience. Butcher has delivered an impressive debut. You won’t put it down!" ADAM BRADLEY, co-author of New York Times bestseller, One Day It’ll All Make Sense.
‘A gripping and compelling narrative, which pulls you into the poverty and hardships of the mid-West Dust Bowl. The tension creeps as surely as the dust, and there’s an undertone of repressed violence and almost supernatural darkness that swims to the surface as the book races towards its conclusion. Raw and beautiful and evocative, this is a book that deserves to be read.’ FOXFANG BOOKS, online Etsy book-store.
‘Butcher has the skills and talents of a much more seasoned writer. The twists and turns that lead up to the grand finale are mind-bindingly well-conceived. A psychological twisted world that sends shivers racing up and down your spine. One of the best debut novels I have ever read, indeed one of the best psychological thrillers I have ever read, period.’ BOOKLYTICAL.COM, book blog and review site.
‘Eyes of Sleeping Children is nonstop intensity. The setting and the story are refreshing and kept me guessing. I didn’t expect any of the twists at the end, and each one fit perfectly within the universe. If you’re going to read anything this year, read this book, then read more of what Butcher has to offer!’ ELIZABETH SUGGS, bestselling author and publisher of Collective Darkness.
‘The thing that stands out most to me about this debut novel is the prose. Smooth as butter. You will not be left guessing. D.A has a way with words, and his descriptions are lush and dark. A remarkable debut and I expect more rich stories out of D. A. Butcher.’ MICHAEL CLARK, author of The Patience of a Dead Man series.
