Air/Light Magazine - University of Southern California
"Her stories are unsummarizable, and do not exist apart from their style." ~ Jim Krusoe, author of The Sleep Garden
CutBank Journal -University Of Montana
"We so admire its spellbinding use of language and dense, ponderous imagery. Our editors found themselves rereading it once, twice, three times to take it all in." ~ Cutbank
"Nervous System"
Tartarus Press
Critic's Pick: "While the house of horror has many mansions, my own favorite subgenre is the reticent, often enigmatic “strange tale.” This is a specialty of Tartarus Press, which celebrates a major anniversary with “Strange Tales: Tartarus Press at 30,” edited by co-founder Rosalie Parker. This handsome volume showcases work by 18 writers" ~ Michael Dirda, Washington Post
