“Only one word for the collaboration between Wolfgang Carstens and Janne Karlsson: brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!”
—Tony Moffeit, Pueblo Blues
“You could say TRASH AND ASH is dark, but that wouldn't really cover it—you can't see in the dark. Carstens and Karlsson are digging deep down into the underground, sure, but they're bringing along enough firepower to light up every square inch of this pit they dragged you into, till the dirt glows and the hungry worms glisten and you see the four walls of your very own grave clear as day!”
—Matt Galletta, The Ship is Sinking
“Carstens and Karlsson have created something quite powerful and brilliant here.”
—Doug Draime, More Than The Alley
“Death, nothingness and the meaninglessness of existence take on a new high under the sardonic yet life-affirming pens of Wolfgang Carstens and Janne Karlsson.”
—George Anderson, Bold Monkey
“TRASH AND ASH is definitely a visit to the dark side—the artist and writer dip fingers into the cauldron if for nothing else, to watch the flesh melt.”
—Bill Gainer, The Fine Art of Poisoning
“The poetry of Wolfgang Carstens coupled with the incredible art of Janne Karlsson is a marriage made in hell!”
—John Yamrus, Alchemy
“The combination of Wolfgang Carstens and Janne Karlsson is like 1000 lbs of dynamite stuck in a wildfire.”
—Mike Meraz, 43
