A rave review by Brett @graphicpolicy.com for THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TREES!
Favourite quote? The book is trippy enough that "you can enjoy it without hitting the pipe and getting blazed..."!

Link to the full review and all the more conventional praise Brett uses:

The books are here for my EDGAR ALLAN - A TALE OF MYSTERY AND INTERVENTION Kickstarter printed by the legendary @comicprintinguk.bsky.social! But look at my studio - a maze of boxes and packaging. Now all I have to do is bag/sign/ship them!
Later I’ll be updating my online shop to include these….
