Dallas Angguish

Welcome

"Dallas Angguish's writing... has been variously described as 'offbeat and atmospheric' and as 'every bit as good as J. D. Salinger'. Angguish has also been called 'Truman Capote's queer love-child'." - Ben Mason, QNET.

"Angguish demonstrates an enviable flair for storytelling." - Graeme Aitken, DNA magazine.

"Angguish is what you'd get if Victor Frankenstein made a new monster by splicing together body parts of David Sedaris, Truman Capote, Bruce Chatwin and just a bit of Djuna Barnes." - Prue Range, Goodreads.
