WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

Yarrow Paisley dictates dreams onto paper. His work is like nothing else I've read--enchanting, touching, terrifying, absurd.

– E. Catherine Tobler, author of The Necessity of Stars

Yarrow Paisley’s fractured fairy tales use old-fashioned horror to illustrate contemporary family life. The ten stories in his new collection include incestuous parents and disembodied children, house hauntings emanating from plumbing or mirrors, and characters who eat their loved ones’ body parts. With his trademark sly humor, Paisley has created a world in a glass eye, a tour de force guaranteed to give readers delightful nightmares.

– Mickey J. Corrigan, author of What I Did for Love
