A thrillingly unfettered debut... Phantom Limb is its own kind of miraculous relic: disturbing and mesmerising, the work of a writer possessed of a rare power and vision * Daily Telegraph * Wonderfully farcical and apocalyptic... A novel of considerable charm and energy, summoning a mad world that resembles our own * Guardian * Chris Kohler's prose is gorgeous throughout... This excellent debut is well worth the journey * Literary Review * Captivating... A striking, grand vision * Buzz Magazine * With shades of John Byrne and Alasdair Gray, Phantom Limb is to be treasured. A wonderfully strange, full-of-heart debut * Camilla Grudova, Granta Best of Young British Novelist 2023 * At once playful and deeply moving, ancient and shockingly new, Phantom Limb is a tremendous read: full of wisdom, madness, kindness and action. You won't read anything quite like it * Aidan Cottrell-Boyce, author of The End of Nightwork * I hear a voice, singing in the wilderness - its sound is strange and it is beautiful. Chris Kohler's Phantom Limb is the Scottish novel I have been waiting on for so long * Alan Warner, author of Nothing Left to Fear From Hell * Phantom Limb is a chaotic, poignant, grotty, frightening, gleeful cacophony of a book * Lisa McInerney, author of The Rules of Revelation * One of the most wondrous debuts I've ever read, full of wit and wisdom, history, mystery and meaning, and a profound sense of what it is to try to be a human being. Superb * Danny Denton, author of All Along the Echo *
