"Massie's sharp observations and eye for detail
bring her characters to life."
— Publishers Weekly
"Elizabeth Massie is personally one of my favorite authors. Her writing is true, heartfelt, and wildly original. She is one of the greats."
— Bentley Little, author of Dispatch, The Collection, The Return
"Elizabeth Massie seduces you with her smooth prose and rich characterization, tows you along with her effortless storytelling, and then leaves you gasping when it all comes together."
— F. Paul Wilson, author of The Keep, the Repairman Jack novels
"Elizabeth Massie can be every bit as creepy as Roald Dahl in his more disturbing adult short stories."
— The Argus Leader
"(Massie's) abundant talent, but moreover, her
sensitivity and humanity and her passion...it's more than a gift,
it is her essence."
— Brian Hodge, author of Oasis,
Death Grip, Wild Horses
"She can get down into the darkest corners of
the human mind and spirit, and she shows us facets of ourselves
that are both chilling and inspiring."
— Rick Hautala, author of Bedbugs,
Cold Whisper, The White Room (as A.J. Matthews)
"Massie is the reigning champion of the modern
Southern Gothic. She is a master."
— Garrett Peck, Gauntlet
"Massie has the stuff that makes dark fiction
both entertaining and literate."
— Scary Monsters
"Elizabeth Massie's short
stories read like a jagged scar across a genre often preferring
the 'safe' scare of supernatural fantasies over the unpredictable
nastiness of that most repulsive of monsters, the human being."
— William P. Simmons for "Story Time"
