While the novel did not receive any awards, it was endorsed by Alan Moore, who called it "a bludgeoning celluloid rush of language and ideas served from an action-painter's bucket" and "an incendiary gem."[1] HorrorNews.Net, however, described it as, "an empty intellectual exercise" and suggested that, "This is what happens when authors try too hard to be Literate and don’t put the story above their ego."[2]
