“It is, at times, too beautiful; it is, at times, a gift. It is impossible to read Brewer’s debut without feeling something, whether that be a reaction to the graphic scenes of body horror, or to the moving depiction of care . . . Suture is a novel of feelings, one that moves between extremes to highlight the care that can sometimes be missed in the trauma of contemporary art. For that reason, it is a stunning debut.” —The Ampersand Review

“Suture is built out of biting prose and vivid imagery. It is not a novel for those averse to gore, yet still should be considered a must-read. Creatives will feel seen with Brewer’s description of the artistic process, and achieving suspension of disbelief is easy. Others will enjoy Suture because of its incredibly human characters, each imperfect and multifaceted.” —Cloud Lake Literary

“Brewer’s nimble writing makes even the most grotesque descriptions intoxicating. Suture is unique tale of creativity, mental health and masochism that is as messy and fearless as it is tender and evocative.” —Broken Pencil

“Suture lights up the need for forgiveness while exploring how family and supporting social networks can be at once helpful and injurious. Mental health emerges as a significant theme in the cruelties people inflict upon themselves and others by their actions.” —The Puritan

“This is a beautifully painful book, highly recommended.” —subTerrain Magazine
