REVIEWS
“a fresh use of language to spin a storyline that is at once universally familiar and intriguingly original.” –Brian Agincourt Massey, judge of the 2008 InnermoonLit Award for Best First Chapter of a Novel
“Compelling…Mixing mystery in with sheer humanity and splendid characterization, Yuan-Innes’s story is a delight.”–Alicia Curtis, A&E Editor, The Stormy Petrel, Atlanta, Georgia
“Delivers a Bradburyian shocker”–Paul Di Filippo, Asimov’s
“A strong but opaque piece…compellingly rendered”–Jay Lake, Tangent Online
“Very fine work…Yuan-Innes deftly negotiates the creepy aspects, the affecting aspects, and the funny aspects of her tale, as complications result when other dead return with other diseases to battle. The ending is quite moving.”–Rich Horton sfsite.com
“Some serious awesome going on.”–Jeff Soesbe, author of “Apologies All Around”
“very compelling…I’ve never read a book with so much wall-to-wall sex” –Christina Dudley, author of _Mourning Becomes Cassandra_, about my latest book THE LIST
