STARRED REVIEW "[Ballingrud's] evocative and strangely beautiful
descriptions of the grotesque and terrible are sure to linger long
after they are read."-- "-- Publishers Weekly"
"In only two slender collections, Nathan Ballingrud has emerged as
one of the field's most accomplished short story writers."--The
Washington Post
"Nathan Ballingrud's brilliant fiction brims with imagination,
integrity (I do not use that term lightly), and an authentic
world-weary dread that bores directly into your heart. With Wounds
you'll gladly follow Nathan to Hell and (maybe) back."---- Paul
Tremblay, award-winning author of THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD
and A HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS
"Stretch[es] the boundaries of the genre by employing these grand,
horrific worlds. "The Butcher's Table" reminds me of the first time
I read Clive Barker's "In the Hills, the Cities." It's horrifying,
but there's beauty."--The New York Times
