Reviews

“Many of these stories are the type that would be published in commercial, general audience magazines if those still existed that also published fiction. Standouts include the funny and horrible (in a good way) ‘Meet and Greet’ by Georgia Smith, ‘”‘A Thin Line Rises’”‘ by Morgan Talty; “Views” comes close to being better than excellent, as does ‘Lucy Lucy Lucy.’”

— David Shawn, Goodreads

“The opening story, ‘Meet and Greet,’ by Georgia Smith, gets the collection off to a rollicking start. It’s a very edgy meet and greet—and, for readers, because of this fascinating protagonist, it’s a riveting meet and greet to this fine collection.”

— Jack Smith, California Review of Books
