Nameless: The Darkness Comes by Mercedes M. Yardley

“Mercedes writes with a fluidity and accessibility that instantly draws you in. The characters are by no stretch heroes, and this makes them all the more compelling to the reader. The story plays out like a gleefully twisted dear diary, and moves along at a pace which makes turning the pages almost effortless. There’s an intimacy to this book that makes you feel like you’re being spoken to individually, and a turn of phrase which is simultaneously dramatic, witty and poetic in equal measure.” – James Walley

“Praise for her earlier work compared to favourably to Joe Hill and, with Nameless, she proves again why this is. Mercedes has a strong, unique voice that brings her brand of dark fiction straight into the reader’s mind. She has an effortless, dynamic turn of phrase which feels natural at all times.” – Jay Faulkner

“This is a book that doesn’t shy away from the dark and disturbing choices that we, as humans, make. Life is precious, and yet sometimes we seem to accept our own mortality far too easily. Suicide is not an easy subject to write about, but the author writes about it with sensitivity as it’s a pivotal moment for so much that happens in this story.” – LITERAL ADDICTION’s Vivacious Valkyrie – Marta
