These stories are keepers--you might well want to pick them up again and again."-Heather Graham, author, PHANTOM EVIL & "KREWE of HUNTERS Series
“Corrine De Winter is a virtuoso of forlorn Romanticism.”–Thomas Ligotti, author of THE NIGHTMARE FACTORY
"A beautiful, exotic dreamworld exists in De Winter's writing.." –William Peter Blatty, author of THE EXCORCIST
"De Winter's stories have a great quality to them- Saki's creepy succinctness mixed with the epiphanic resonance of Dubliners-era Joyce. Quite unique."-James Sclavunos ( Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds)
