Pauls debut novel was published in 2008-

"If you wanted to put Paul Knight's novel 'A Trail of Burnt Paper' into a shareholder pleasing box you might compare it to Japanese horror film 'The Ring'... The writing can be brutal at times, at other times it is controlled and delicate. It hasn't been edited into a neater style or more conventional structure but that is part of its beauty"- ARENA Magazine.

"Amazing scope"- Maddog Magazine

Known for an uncompromising verbal style, anti-social satire and an almost unhealthy willingness to perform material of a horrifically personal nature, do not book for weddings or childrens parties as this is like a red rag to a bull.

"Genuinely impressive"- Attila the Stockbroker
