‘So you liked Irvine Welsh? Read Carnivore’ Cosmopolitan ‘Jonathan Lyon has written the best gay debut novel in YEARS’ Johann Hari ‘[A] Compelling debut. Suspend all rational thought and enjoy the – rather unsettling – ride’ Belfast Telegraph ‘[Leander is] a heartless hero for the millennial generation’ Standpoint magazine ‘The most original unreliable narrator and anti-hero you’ll encounter this year, or maybe even this decade. Crime book, literary fiction, contemporary tragedy; it doesn’t matter what pot you put it in, just read it.’ Crime Fiction Lover ‘Knew it would be unsettling & challenging but Carnivore is moving & tender too. Lyon is the Philip Ridley of South London.’ Jon Appleton
