“Nowicki’s novels are always a deep dive into the abyss, but with an undertow of cosy humour and philosophical irony to soften the fall. Under the Nihil is no different. ‘Would I be happy being happy?’ the hero asks as he contemplates joining an MKUltra-like project that promises to free him from the petty fears and desires that chain and confine most of us. Along the way, we find out the most effective way to humiliate a woman. Warning: not to be tried at home.” — Colin Liddell, author of Interviews and Obituaries

“Throughout this collection, Monday combines the past and present: movie directors and actresses of the mid-20th century and ‘the land of the electronic zombies’ created by modern technology and social media. Each poem takes the reader on a nostalgic tour of the human experience.” — Abigail Schoolfield, Associate English Professor, Roane State Community College

“It is hard to shake Heart Killer off once you decide to pick it up, particularly when you are able to plumb its labyrinthine depths. Nowicki wrote a novel that out-Crowleys Crowley, out-Mishimas Mishima, out-Palahniuks Palahniuk, out-Kings King, and maybe even in some ways out-Covingtons Covington.” — Juleigh Howard-Hobson, Counter-Currents Publishing

“A book of poetry worth reading is a hard thing to find these days. I still haven’t figured out if Patrick Kilgore’s Spectres of Saturn is gutterfilth lovingly polished until it shines like gold, or a diamond that’s been carefully covered in feces. Either way, it’s absolutely worth reading and worth rereading. Highly recommended.” — Bill Marchant, author of Northern Reaction
