Praise for The Elfish Gene:


“No one else has done the Dungeons and Dragons memoir before, and now no one else needs to. It’s a lovely book, far funnier and more enjoyable than its slightly terrifying subject matter might suggest…. Barrowcliffe is superb on male friendship…. This is a genuine achievement…. [Barrowcliffe] has written a good and happy book.”—Daily Mail (UK)

“Reaches Office-style levels of embarrassing hilarity. But it also has a lot to say about the casual cruelties and bizarre social dynamics that exist among packs of adolescent boys who have only their hobby in common. Toe-curlingly honest.”
—Bournemouth Echo (UK)
