What readers have said about some of the stories in this collection

"Reads like a movie script forcing vivid imagery into your head." Hazy Shade of Winter

"This was intense. Intense is good, intense is great. Highly descriptive." At Night

"The imagery and descriptions were all fantastic, with particular kudos to the post-death opening scene." (Nothing But) Flowers

"I thought this was a very visual piece throughout, and I got a good sense of claustrophobia. That feeling definitely added to the sense of panic and suffocation as the story unfolded." Out of Space
