Are People Out There by Shane Kowalski
"Shane Kowalski writes short-shorts. To do this, one must be a good sentence maker. Kowalski's sentences are very good. Each one contains multitudes. To be a good sentence maker, one must know a lot of words. Kowalski clearly does know a lot of words." Read more of this review »
Pure Hollywood by Christine Schutt
"Of the Lish/NOON writers (that I have read: Williams, Lutz, Holland, Lish) Schutt's sentences are the most subtle, fading into the background at times. But the characteristic gauziness and rhythm remain and dominate throughout.

Thomas Ligotti
“How can the disease be cured of itself?' you asked them. 'My body — a tumor that was once delivered from the body of another tumor, a lump of disease that is always boiling with its own disease. And my mind — another disease, the disease of a disease. Everywhere my mind sees the disease of other minds and other bodies, these other organisms that are only other diseases, an absolute nightmare of the organism.”
Thomas Ligotti, Teatro Grottesco
