Musician turned writer has a keen eye for humor, pathos, & the bizarre in these short pieces.
- Bookpeople
[alternative man] contains some of the best stuff by a new writer in or out of the small presses.
- Andersen Prunty, Absent magazine
Imaginary reality and the hard, cold merge in tales dominated by characters whirled in confusion and odd determination. An old-school punk, tempered (slightly) and swollen with skill.
- Christopher M., First Class magazine
sometimes on the verge of magic...a situation report from the front lines...full of religion, madness, and the cold greased cunt of death.
- Barbara Peck
let me tip the hat to the poet Michael Phillips! the book - 'Alternative man' was a great read - I'm going to share his stuff with my crowd.
- Ulvis Alberts
The fiction has to be the strangest...the five star fucked-up award goes to "anything for a quid", about a guy who visits a prostitute in England who turns her clients on with a monkey puppet made of socks.
- Michael Halchin, Bleeding Velvet Octopus magazine
