Hill captures the dark underbelly of Manchester in visceral prose. There is a unique horror in Y s predicament, and Hill renders it in chilling terms. Hill s world is tinged with a sense of foreboding in this refreshing take on a futuristic mystery. <b>Publishers Weekly</b> The collapse is already here, it s just not evenly distributed. Graft is a compelling, fast-moving work of austerity science fiction. High tech rubs up against low lives, battered Britishness struggles to get by in the face of imminent inhumanities. A powerful neo-noir. <b>Matthew De Abaitua</b>, author of<i>If Then</i> <i>Graft</i>is exactly what science fiction should be right now: it s brutally dark, twisted at its heart, with an incredible sense of forebodingabout where we could end up if our mistakes aren t put right. Beautifully written, engagingly compulsive, it s one of the best books I ve read in a long time. <b>- James Smythe</b>, Author of<i>The Testimony</i>, <i>The Explorer</i>, <i>The Machine</i>and more England as a wasteland ruled by crime, car jacking as a doorwayto love and morality, and plenty of body horror to mix with yourposthumanism: <i>Graft</i>is a brilliant eulogy for our ruined future. <b>- Edward J Rathke</b>, author of<i>Noir: A Love Story</i> Hill s prose is an utter dream, the sooty grit of his 2025 Manchester practically coats the reader s hands. <b>Bad Cantina</b> Hill s mean and broken future Manchester is pretty inimitable. You ll meet some amazing characters navigating some profoundly dangerous situations in an environment of true weirdness that has a touch of the William Gibsons about it whilst at the same time presenting a science fiction that s very personal, very British. In a word, it s fantastic. <b>Nina Allen</b> <b>For Matt Hill s debut novel, <i>The Folded Man</b> Captures the smell and essence of Britain through its main character, his desires, addictions and strange courage. Written with direct vividness that keeps one inside its totally realised world. - <b>Stephen Fry</b>, Dundee International Book Prize judge 2012 Some combination of Raymond Chandler, <i>Trainspotting</i>, and Philip K. Dick, Hill s unsettling novel is not an escapist fantasy, but rather a call to arms, a plea to change the future. <b>Publishers Weekly A memorable debut with pathos, dark humour and true heart. <b>Interzone</b>
