WINNER OF THE BRAM STOKER AWARD FOR BEST FICTION COLLECTION
NOMINATED FOR THE WORLD FANTASY AWARD FOR BEST COLLECTION "One of
my favorite writers, period. ... one of the most unique and
accomplished prose talents now working in America. He writes
dangerous stories, in something I've described as like a cross
between H.P. Lovecraft and James Dickey ... Very much like crack to
my brain."
--Nic Pizzolatto, creator of HBO's True Detective "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 Wish You Were Here and Last
Night at the Lobster "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 "I've come to Laird Barron relatively late, but I'm adding
him to my pantheon of greats (and I don't use that word
lightly)."
--Adam Nevill, author of The Ritual "The scariest writer on the
planet has to be Laird Barron."
--Paul Goat Allen, The Barnes & Noble Book Blog "Laird Barron has,
in a remarkably short period of time, emerged as one of the leading
writers of contemporary weird fiction."
--S. T. Joshi "You could say these stories are what happens when
Jack London and Zane Grey go drinking with William Hope Hodgson and
Algernon Blackwood. But what they really are is Laird Barron, and
they are terrifying and awe-inspiring. If you haven't yet tried his
work, this is a great place to start."
--Brian Keene, author of The Rising
