Deadhead is in thoroughly bad taste, of course, but it is full of lively dark wit and stylish writing. It is ideal for someone with a 13-year-old sense of humour. The last word must go (of course) to Garret. ’They’re just kids... Brilliant, deeply disturbed, intensely irritating kids’.

Magpies Magazine Volume 36
