"In Nothing Man, Marc Lowe presents a freak show of twitchy characters including relentlessly abused detectives, knife-wielding love-makers, over-caffeinated authoresses who steal into each others’ books, and an eccentric scholar whose ideas are so obscure that he himself vanishes into thin air. Lowe’s stories hack body and mind apart and sometimes put them back together in a new way. They disrupt comfortable logic and expectation with a Surrealist-infused Gothic prose tinged with hints of Borges and Poe."
Rob Stephenson, author of Passes Through
"Nothing Man is not just a collection of short stories. It is a collection of consequences within incidences placed within labyrinthine streets deep inside the whorls of the narrator’s, or the reader’s, mind… In pure abstract style, these stories represent the unraveling psyche in an Expressionist landscape…"
Rachel Kendall, author of The Bride Stripped Bare
"Physicists tell us there are “worm holes” in the universe through which you can cut your space travel time to near nothing or even enter new worlds. By dispensing with endless stretches of boring realism, riddling through the stories with his bold imagination, in his Nothing Man, Marc Lowe takes his readers on a whirlwind journey through the universe of life to visit characters you may not have imagined…"
