A harrowing and ecstatic descent into a breathtaking netherworld aswirl with the real, the imagined and the absolutely unforgettable.

Reviews for The Skin Palace
One of the best novels about film I have come across, a tortuous and tortured tale about Quinsigamond's surviving cinema
Maxim Jakubowski
Guardian
Mesmerizing...light-years away from your garden-variety thriller. The Skin Palace may remind you of Blade Runner or the novels of William Gibson, but O'Connell has his own dazzling tale to tell...Wickedly clever
Seattle Times
It's a measure of O'Connell's immense talent that, while creating his absolutely original and hyperbolic world, he also paints a striking vision of the haunting ways in which life and art mirror each other
Publishers Weekly
the sheer chutzpah of his enterprise sweeps you in
