“With . . . expert imagery, Lawrence C. Connolly takes a reader on a different kind of magical mystery tour . . . about what drives people to extremes, and how destiny ultimately intervenes.”
“[S]ubtly haunting, bringing together Native American Okwe myth with a crime thriller. The plot is fast and intense and the characters are wonderfully real.”
“Feels like some of the best magic realism that’s been written lately . . . highly readable.”
“Connolly proves beyond a doubt that he is one of our greatest horror authors working today.”
“Rich, mesmerizing, and darkly woundrous.”
“. . . extraordinary . . . as intense and fast-moving as a Tarantino movie.”
“… starts fast, accelerates quickly, and finishes with a flourish …”
“Connolly is a writer to follow, and his work a thing to savor.”
From Publishers Weekly: This diverse collection, spanning Connolly's 30-year career, offers old-school fantasy and SF replete with twist endings and familiar tropes. “Step on a Crack,” “Flashback,” “Cockroaches,” “Ghosts” and “Errors” are short and snappy Twilight Zone–esque gimmick stories. The novella “Great Heart Rising” mixes Native American folklore with a dash of science fictional spores. The Beowulf saga inspires the alien-slaying hijinks of “Daughters of Prime” and “The Others” as well as “Beerwulf” (a much better story than its title suggests), while Greek myth and Stephen King's Christine inform the closing tale, “Strands.” From the cheerful vampire romp of “Buckeye and Spitball” and the unusual battle against grief in “On the Brink” to the noirish sci-fi of “Julie of the Shadows” and far-future threats of “Flow,” Connolly (Veins) provides plenty of entertaining and satisfying reads.

 Fleeing from what should have been a perfect crime, four crooks in a black Mustang race into the Pennsylvania highlands. On the backseat, a briefcase full of cash. On their tail, a tattooed madman who wants them dead. Straight ahead, a winged horror from beyond time.
