What Readers Are Saying About Mason Carter
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"In Carter's poetry we find the best blend of asceticism and didacticism. As an agent of Social change and emancipation, he uses his gist to convey his message through the universal medium of poetry. His love for gothic literature and his soul-searching social emancipation requires us to read his poetry twice to fully grasp its deep sense."
— M. Ibrahim Khokhar (Prof. at Shah Abdul Latif University)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Mason breaks all stereotypical barriers in contemporary fiction regarding what a hero or male protagonist should look like, smell like, act like, etc. I’m personally tired of all these novels where the male protagonist is always depicted as physically appealing, has some impeccable mannerisms, is always alluring, et al. I’m tired of these flawless male heroes or male book protagonists cum Greek gods. "
— Fiza Pathan (Author of "The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name: Short Stories)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"What a delightful book that sometimes had me laughing out loud! Mason Carter's history of ancient classics teaches, clarifies, and entertains. He strips the bloviation from the subject and presents these classics in ways that make sense with a sense of fun. This light-hearted romp through literature should be on the desk of every student studying ancient literature in order to summarize the lives and impacts of the writers and to provide chuckles during exam week.
