Reviews -
'Reed's monologues are a masterclass in storytelling. He weaves complex plots and characters in just a few short pages, and his dialogue is sharp and witty. I always look forward to reading his work.' - MR
'Reed’s work frequently uses solitary characters to create an intimate yet chilling atmosphere, where internal dialogue lays bare unsettling intentions or obsessions, as seen in "Ticked Off," where a character discusses his violent tendencies under the guise of a casual chat. Through these deeply personal monologues, Reed blurs the lines between humor and horror, keeping audiences both entertained and unsettled.' - C
'Reed's monologues are dark and edgy, but they're also incredibly funny and thought-provoking. He's a master of the genre, and his work is always a treat to read.' - CB
