Strungballs Reviews
The first reviews are in for Strungballs !
“Author Mike Russell takes you on a crazy trip through a world where everyone functions and no-one questions… Ten-year-old Sydney breaks one rule and the place starts to fall apart. Now it’s your chance to see what lays beneath. So get this short novel and explore a new reality. And remember: Once a Strungball is inserted it must never be removed.” Vera I
“Ever since I read his first story collection, NOTHING IS STRANGE, Mike Russell has been one of my favorite authors. His second collection, STRANGE MEDICINE, certainly did not disappoint and this new book, which is a single novella, is equally as mind-blowing, maybe even more so… you really need to read this and see how the story unfolds. As always, Mike Russell will mess with your mind and make you question the nature of reality!” JBarnes

"Just what the doctor ordered"
Thank you to Oddly Weird Fiction for a wonderful review of Strange Medicine
. It comes with an apology for the book initially having been lost but perhaps the book was hiding, waiting for the time when its stories were most needed. Strange Medicine is strange like that. You can read the review here: http://www.oddlyweirdfiction.com/2016... and grab your own copy here: http://viewBook.at/strangemedicine
Best wishes!

New Strange Medicine Review
A wonderful new review for
Strange Medicine
5 out of 5 stars... "A Unique Voice"
"The powers of both imagination and communication on display here are impressive. It's truly bizarre, surreal and even shocking in places, but always easy to read and very enjoyable... Over the course of just a few pages, you are led to a point where something outrageous can make sense and be believable. In many ways, I found it a highly transportive read and affecting experience. To me, Mr Russell seems to have a unique voice and something important to say."
