Rumble Strip

'Painfully shocking indictment of driving which comes as less of a shock to those of us who spend significant amounts of time on two wheels. The British graphic novelist applies a not at all conventional medium for this kind of societal review in a thought-provoking and effective way.' – Gear and Grit

'A resolute protest against vehicular deaths as a silent epidemic.' – Publishers Weekly

'One utterly original work of genius. It should be made mandatory reading for everyone, everywhere.' – The Times

'A heartfelt, eloquent and surprisingly gripping indictment of our current obsession with cars.' – Stephen Holland, Page 45

'The author's probing commentary, combined with its stark visuals, effectively stokes the complicated emotions its author intended to instill in his readers. A keen and unapologetic consideration of how driving often brings out the worst in us.' – Kirkus Reviews

'The layout cleverly simulates a car journey. I sometimes dream about driving a car, and when I drive at night, I sometimes wonder if I am dreaming. Woodrow Phoenix describes it perfectly.' – The Beautiful Room
