ABOUT | INFO | REVIEWS
"Where do you start with Mr. Wiltoncroft? The fact that he travels an orbit of fleeting pleasure and desolation at the outer edges of the power grid, or that when you join him in his lonely quest, the scales fall from your eyes?"

- Hunter Kennedy
Editor, the Minus Times

Written by Brent Van Daley, the story of Mr. Wiltoncroft is that of a brooding and dark seductor. Highly perceptive, perhaps even psychic, Wiltoncroft finds himself drifting through a picaresque episodic tale of incredibly original, and peculiar, design.

---------------

Edited by Hunter Kennedy and serialized over the course of the last decade, Brent Van Daley's stories of decadence originally appeared in the Drag City-published literary journal, the Minus Times. Juziuk & Jeryc have edited and compiled the Mr. Wiltoncroft stories into one tome.

---------------

"It's safe to say that Wiltoncroft - the protagonist in local artist and musician Brent Van Daley's new book, Mr. Wiltoncroft - is a good example of the literary anti-hero, drifting without direction or ambition or any popularly good qualities.

"Certainly, Wiltoncroft is seedy, perhaps depraved. He apparently straddles two worlds: reality and something other, which could just be the drugs."

- Mary Jessica Hammes , Athens Banner-Herald
'Mr. Wiltoncroft' seedy, but benign.
