"This is a stellar collection of work -- each story is its own character, with its own voice, its own points to make, and its own share of distinctive scares and poignancy. You never feel like you've read this story before, earlier in the collection. Just strap yourself in and let Ty Schwamberger show you what the next generation of dark-fiction writers have in store for the rest of us ... and try to not look over your shoulder afterward."~Gary A.
