"Astonishingly consistent and rigorously horrifying. All his
stories give off the chill of top-grade horror."
--New York Times "One of our best and most singular writers. A
powerhouse of ideas and imagery."
--William Gibson "John Shirley achieves things that other writers
wouldn't dare attempt. Brilliant. The true quill."

sensory experience."
--Publishers Weekly "Readers who enjoy living a little dangerously
are likely to appreciate the sheer, headlong exuberance of
Shirley's imagination."
--San Francisco Chronicle
