“Jeremy C. Shipp’s boldness, daring, originality, and sheer smarts make him one of the most vital younger writers who have colonized horror literature in the past decade. Shipp’s modernist clarity, plus his willingness to risk damn near everything, put him up at the head of the pack with the very best.”
—Peter Straub, author of Ghost Story
“Jeremy C. Shipp is one of the most dynamic forces in horror.”
—Scott Nicholson, author of McFALL
