Ricochet

Surrealistic, bizarre, ironic, funny, haunting, poetic. These are the words that popped into my mind while I was reading ‘Ricochet’, actor and artist Tim Dry's debut novella. The way that Dry synthesizes his thoughts from mind to page makes him a wildly inventive word artist. Read this book - not for its narrative arc, as this novella is a series of vignettes and short stories - but for the sheer exhilaration of a literary roller coaster ride through Dry's vivid and audacious imagination. – Barbie Wilde

Reads like the exquisite lovechild of William Burroughs and Philip K. Dick's fiction, with some Ballard thrown in for good measure. Wonderfully imaginative, darkly satirical - this is a must read! – Paul Kane

Tim Dry has done for the short story what ‘On the Hour’ and ‘The League of Gentlemen’ did for radio and TV sketch shows. Darkly satirical, bizarre, nostalgic and at times horrific, these vignettes twist childhood newspaper cartoons, biography and skewer celebrity chefs. He is an H.H.Munro (Saki) for the modern age. – Nicholas Burman-Vince
