Happy TWO YEAR Anniversary to Rick

Praise for Overnight by Dan Richards

I loved Overnight. It is both gripping and consoling, and full of an intelligent, querying tenderness for its subjects. I was never sure whether l'd be moved to laughter or tears: often, it was both, and in the end I was sad to leave Richards' humane and witty company' SARAH PERRY

'Overnight takes us to hidden worlds that lie so far from most of our daily lives, but exist in such proximity to them. Dan Richards is an excellent guide, and this is a hugely fascinating, funny and moving book' CHRIS POWER

The height of crafted eloquence' SAMANTHA HARVEY

'A revelatory journey into the teeming life of the night. Moving, engrossing, essential.'
KATHERINE MAY

I found Overnight to be a moving and sympathetic mix of the personal and the observational. Dan Richards
captures that out-of-time, dislocated, slightly surreal quality that wakeful overnight hours possess. By turns emotionally raw, fascinating and even a little spooky' KASSIA ST CLAIR

'In Overnight, Dan Richards introduces us to the shadowy, starlit world of postal workers, night nurses, 24-hour industry, late night radio, search & rescue. We meet desperate rough sleepers, racing demons, new mothers... and what shines through most clearly is the humour and the pathos, the remarkable diversity in what it means to live, to work, to love. A lucid dream of a book, one that will keep you up late' CAL FLYN

In Overnight, Richards casts the night and its many activities anew to create a book offering a rare type of solace. I've been almost pathologically afraid of the dark my entire life, but Overnight is a kaleidoscopic book, illuminating at every turn dark corners of both the night and our collective minds, until the idea of darkness became appealing, even to me' ALI MILLAR

'Dan Richard's writing spans great gulfs of emotion and experience. He is witty & profound and his curiosity and empathy know no bounds. He takes us deep into the night & brings it utterly alive. PHILIP HOARE

@bessbbe.bsky.social now drives freight trains across the UK, often on the night shift. She’s a brilliant author, illustrator and social media presence. Do give her a follow. 👍
