'... a very perceptive, convincing writer' 'a bruising collection of 20 short stories from a first time author. Potent, seductive, darkly amusing tales that leave you exhausted by their very intensity.' 'powerful, sinuous, disturbing and at times violent - but scratch beneath the surface and you'll find Occasional Demons is suffused with a European sensibility' 'Raymond Soltysek has dug out a fine niche in Scottish short stories. Occasional Demons is an excellent, vibrant work of humour, insight and, at times menace ... a fine collection of reflections and moments.' 'the febrile intensity of Raymond Soltysek's debut is something of a revelation' 'A book has to be outstanding to make it on to the short list for [The Saltire] prize. [This is among] the very best collections of short stories published this year' Professor Douglas Gifford, Chair of the judging Panel for the Saltire
