MEDIA REVIEWS
'Magnificent stories that explore the darkest depths of the human soul. Lyrical,heartbreaking,devastating-this is literary horror at its finest.'- Tim Waggoner,author of Your Turn to Suffer
'Sometimes you meet someone and within a few minutes you know you're going to be the best of friends. That's how I felt about this book within a few sentences. For such a slim volume it packs a huge punch,touching on Ray Bradbury and Roald Dahl,but completely its own. I felt a pain in my chest during some of the stories. a visceral anxiety to some of the writing. Eric LaRocca is truly original,truly subversive,and truly talented.'- Priya Sharma,author of Ormeshadow
