Raves and Reviews
"Johnny Compton's Chimera Skin is such a wonder. An absolute thrill of a reading experience. Invigorating, confident storytelling that invokes Vandermeer's Annihilation and Russell's The Sparrow, while giving a hard nod to The Fly."
– Chris Panatier, author of DAYTIDE and WORRY BOX
