THE NIGHT OF THE ANIMALS
A plan so desperate it almost makes sense.
A fantastically unique tale that leans into massive anxiety, disillusionment, and the overwhelming weight of the past. Pascal's keen attention to the nuances of family and the psychological troubles of his characters makes them feel incredibly real. Very highly recommended.
— Reader's Favorite
Filled with irony, dark humor, and conflict. The writing style fits that mold and will entertain and at times bemuse the reader. This is good escapist fare with an original and unpredictable ending.
— Reader's Favorite
A meditative literary novel centered on grief, fractured family dynamics, and existential inertia. It offers vivid language, a dark sense of humor, and detailed introspection through its protagonist, René. The writing shows great intelligence and ambition.
