"...establishes the author as a master of the macabre fable, the weird and fascinating tale. With narrative skill that ranges from the reportorial to the outrageously baroque, Seamon lures the reader into a world alternately whimsical, tragic, and darkly comic."
- Eugene Mirabelli, Nebula finalist and author of The Goddess in Love with a Horse
