Who told you you could write?
- Emory Morningstar's editor
You know that infinite monkey theorem? I think it took only one to write this particular book.

This is definitely one of those niche books where the stories are only going to appeal to a very small community of discerning readers, but if you love creepy (rather than scary) stuff, with loads of dark humor, this is very good and will probably be for you. It reminded me a little of Jeremy Robert Johnson's stuff.

Not usually my genre, but found it to be a really good read. Addictive, with a lighter touch than Twilight Zone-type stories.

Interesting
Strange and bizarre short stories that were pretty creepy. I enjoyed reading it. Each story was really unique. I look forward to more books from this new writer
