'DEEPLY HONEST, SURPRISINGLY HILARIOUS AND UPLIFTING' The Pool
'HEART-WARMING: UNMISSABLE' Damian Barr, Metro
Susan Calman is a well-known comedian and writer who has appeared on countless radio and television programmes from The News Quiz and Just a Minute on BBC Radio 4, presented Armchair Detectives and Secret Scotland, hosts the podcast Mrs Brightside and stole the nation's hearts in STRICTLY COME DANCING 2017. Her solo stand up show, Susan Calman is Convicted, was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and dealt with subjects like the death penalty, appearance and depression.
It was the overwhelming and positive reaction to the show she wrote about mental health that made Susan want to write a more detailed account of surviving depression when you're the world's most negative and anxious person.
The Crab of Hate is the personification of Calman's depression and her version of the notorious Black Dog. A constant companion all her life, the Crab has provided her with the best, and very worst of times. This is a very personal and affecting memoir of how, after many years and with a lot of help and talking, Susan has embraced her dark side and realised that she can be the most joyous sad person you'll ever meet.
CHEER UP LOVE IS FUNNY, POIGNANT AND (HOPEFULLY) INFORMATIVE.
IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO TALK AND TO REALISE YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

A really important message, but hilarious at the same time―BBC The One Show
Wonderfully funny―BBC Woman's Hour
This is a book that, like a female stereotype, multitasks. For those who suffer from bouts of depression and mental illness it provides solace, understanding and advice. For those living with or close to people suffering from depression, it gives you insight into why some of your well meant but unhelpful or even damaging suggestions seem to fall on deaf ears. If you picked it up purely to find out what makes Susan Calman tick, where she comes from and incidents that shaped the comedian and writer here today, there's that too!―Kate Stone, Funny Women
This is a book that everyone should read, and not only because it makes a serious issue both engaging and instructive... a vital account of mental ill-health―The National

More use than a standard self-help book―National
Fantastic, funny, moving... A perceptive look at depression - with added laughs'―Viv Groskop
Deeply personal and painfully honest but funny―The Times Scotland

Calman fizzed manic energy, alternating between confessional tales and playing with facts she teased out of the audience―Edinburgh Evening News
