"Dennis Etchison's writing is a disturbing marvel." — Richard Christian Matheson

"Horror's greatest inconoclast." — Garrett Peck

"Dennis Etchison is one of the jewels of our field. He has raised the short story — whether it be supernatural, science fiction, psychological suspense, or, most provocatively, an indefinable combination of several or all of these — to a level of high artistry that, among current writers, perhaps only Ramsey Campbell and Thomas Ligotti can match." — S.T. Joshi

"The finest writer of psychological horror this genre has produced." — Karl Edward Wagner
