"I thought the first book was dark, but C.T. Phipps may as well have stamped 'Abandon all hope, ye who enter here' on the cover here and left it that."
-Bob Milne, Beauty in Ruins
"Phipps has existential dread and gallows-humor ennui down to an artform by this point. But it’s his storytelling that raises this piece above the standard fare."
-Toby Caballero, Fanbase Press
