EARLY REVIEWS

“The ideas, the language, the grasp of how people really talk, and think, and how close the dark is to all of us… this is an exceptional collection.”

“The core story “Wearing Skin” is about a tale of body swapping touching the mythic questions of immortality and sex. The author presents the scenes in their raw form, shocking the reader and keeping them in fear. The book is an excellent read if you are fan of Joe Hill.”

“A filmmaker experiences an ungodly world through stolen angel eyes, immortal beings wearing the skin of humans, a doctor able to see into your past when you cry, a world where tattoos can tear away from flesh and come alive, a man ready to take out his enemies is trapped alone in a distant world, and my favourite, the seer, a man with abilities that allow him to travel from his body to the depths of the unknown.”
