Praise for The Video Watcher

“Raymond Carver meets Brett Easton Ellis in nineties North Vancouver. The Video Watcher, with unnerving precision, shows us a West Coast seldom?if ever?experienced in Canadian fiction.” ?Zsuzsi Gartner, Giller-shortlisted author of Better Living Through Plastic Explosives

?There?s a sweet, lonely menace to Shawn Stibbards? world that is instantly familiar and very, very strange. You get the feeling that at any moment Trace, the video watcher of the title, will be revealed as an angel or a serial killer: watching late night horror movies, listening to metal, and drinking by the pool while he waits for his friend to get out of hospital, a girl to call about a party, sleep to come, summer to end. Utterly compelling.? ?Annabel Lyon, author The Sweet Girl
