“I guess a story is truly great if nobody knows what it’s about but everyone still seems to like it.” Norm Sherman – The Drabblecast

“Walter has crafted a man’s entire life for us, wordlessly and deep.” The Fix

“Hilarious and cynical.” Temple City Reviews

“Top story for me is the last in the magazine, Recreation, by Damien G Walter, which introduces the concept of Celebrity Anthropology, and a huge theme park recalling The Truman Show, or even more the city of Frenopolis in Storm Constantine’s Calenture.” Whispers of Wickedness
