About Spectacles (Publisher Seabrook Press):

"John-Paul Pryor is one of the most compelling and disturbing writers working today. Based in London and working for various magazines, this writer shares with us his bleak and wonderful futuristic visions" – Seabrook Press

"Pryor’s poetic mixture of raw violence and transcendence is reminiscent of another debut – rebel outsider Jean Genet’s tale of the Montmartre criminal underworld, Our Lady of the Flowers. Like Genet, he trawls the depths of a nightmare, finding beauty in his children of misfortune" – Hannah Lack, Dazed & Confused

"Spectacles is a fascinating contemporary parable on the nature of beauty in a world of genetically modified disaster unfolding in a drug cocktail apocalypse. It’s a Kafka-on-viagra-esque vision of a universe perverted and impotent to change, interspersed with measured Keatsian romanticism – open nerves drenched in tears" – Wolfe von Lenkiewicz

"The most seriously dark, violent and disturbing work I have ever read. It feels like wandering through a Bruegal landscape. Paradoxically, it is a very touching and beautifully poetic story of some sad love-starved characters attracted to the mystery of self-destruction" – Marnie Weber

"The scattered emotional responses of a young man lost in the dream of life, hungering for connection and meaning" – Billy Childish
