(Critical) Mick Halpin Interviews Gerard Brennan"Mick Halpin offends snooty critics by offering reviews that non-intellectuals will groove to. UNRULY REVIEWS. The rules of proper diction can bite my ass."
After reviewing PODCE, the man took the time to interview Gerard. Get on over there and have a look. -
Critical Mick on PODCE"Gerard-Brennan's first publication, Possession, Obsession and a Diesel Compression Engine, squashes the mad side of Belfast down into a pamphlet small enough to be hidden between the pages of almost any other book. Any snooty black turtlenecks will deduce you are engaged in superior contemplation of recondite criticism, when in fact your clever boots are kicked up on a joyrider tour through the funhouses of Northern Ireland."
"If Robert Rankin was from Northern Ireland and had been reading a lot of R. Scott Taylor and Paulo Coelho, PODCE is the book he would write."

SFReader on PODCE"The freshness of the voice in this collection of stories is very welcome, as is the cut-throat pace with which the action happens. These are not sprawling tales of morality and comeuppance, rather these are punch to the groin (in some cases literally) bits of story where everybody needs to be on their toes, the reader included."
