"Another brilliant engagement with weird fiction from a writer fast
becoming a modern master."
Jeff VanderMeer, author of Annihilation and Finch
"Relentlessly readable, highly atmospheric, sharply and often
arrestingly written Barron's prose style resembles, by turns, a
high-flown Jim Thompson mixed with a pulp Barry Hannah."
Slate
"Laird Barron has, in a remarkably short period of time, emerged as
one of the leading writers of contemporary weird fiction."
S. T. Joshi
"With sharp prose and wise, original stories, Barron has repeatedly
proven himself one of the strongest voices in the field. This
collection is a must read."
Sarah Langan, author of Audrey's Door and The
Keeper
"Laird Barron is one of those writers who makes other writers want
to break their pencils. I'm serious. His work is that good. Worse
than that, he's an original (damn him!), and the finest writer to
join the ranks of the dark fantastic in a long, long time."
Norman Partridge, author of Dark Harvest and Lesser
Demons
"For my money, Laird Barron is far and away the best of the new
generation of horror writers."
Michael Shea, World Fantasy Award-winning author of
Polyphemus
" one senses that he has the potential to change the expectations
of the next generation of readers by elevating the genre to a new
standard of excellence."
Lucius Shepard, author of Trujillo
"If you think there aren't any new Richard Mathesons or Harlan
Ellisons out there, you need to read Laird Barron."
Stewart O'Nan, bestselling author of A Prayer for the
Dying
"Heartbreaking, hilarious, sophisticated, and gory, these stories
will thrill, trouble, and haunt Barron's fans and have newcomers
scrambling to search for his other work."
