“This is the kind of book that ‘Best of Lists’ were made for. Nine and Three Quarters out of Ten” – Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review
“A fearless grand adventure of escalating escapades and escapes so hair-raising that Adams’ deranged imagination is barely able to contain them all. I knew we were in trouble as soon as the ostrich appeared. It’s a fearless, hurtling hell of a debut.” – Christopher Fowler
“If you enjoy strange and bizarre tales and especially if you love Neil Gaiman’s work and wonder what his tales would be like on a bad trip, get yourself a copy of The World House” – DailySteampunk.com
“Guy Adams is either barking mad or a genius, I haven’t decided. His truly fantastic debut is like being caught in a theme park with a killer clown – fun, adventure, the odd cream pie – and a sharp knife when you’re not looking.” – Mark Chadbourn
“This is an unconventional book that strays far into the realm of fantasy and leaves readers without a compass for a while … This bodes well for the next instalment of the series.” – Warpcore SF
