"Juliet Escoria has a poet's knack for knowing when to tie off a paragraph for thunderous effect and displays enormous empathy for the damaged souls that populate her stories."Â
--San Diego CityBeat
"Reading the stories in Black Cloud is like getting punched in the throat; Juliet Escoria leaves you speechless. Her honesty teaches us that beauty can be found in violence, truth in pain, and life where we've always been afraid to look."Â
--Benjamin Samuel, co-editor of Electric Literature
"Juliet Escoria is like a gutter-punk Grace Paley."
--Adam Wilson, author of Flatscreen
"This book is like Julia Child meets Michael Jackson."Â
--Mira Gonzalez, author of I will never be beautiful enough to make us beautiful together
"Black Cloud is one of the best things I've ever read... I want more literature to be like this: brutal, honest, dark, and incredibly real."
--Beach Sloth
