    Utterly succulent writing, characters, and setting. It all makes me want to roll around in the words 'til the essence clings to my curls.

    I hope I keep finding more writers and writing of this quality.

    Awooooooooooooooo

    Phenomenal. A white-trash fairy tale ripe with all the richness magical realism deserves.

    The prose is exemplary and I follow it with wet nose close and tight on the nape.

    Summary

    This is a story about family. It is about the worst of betrayals and the best of intentions, the comfort of lies and the ruthlessness of truths; it is about fathers and cults, gods and monsters, love and violence, the ordinary and the horrifying, the unspeakable things that happen in the synapses where they meet. It's about what should never be, but is anyway; what could have been, but never will; and what happens when the blood you share, and choose, defines you entirely.

    Absolutely one of the best pieces of character writing I've ever seen.

    The prose and voice are exemplary and the characters are pitch-perfect in their displacement from CW bowdlerism. I can hear their speech in my head through the actors and that's a rare achievement.

    Wow.

    This is the kind of work that inspires a writer with a beautiful rush of benevolent competition no matter how confident- and especially when you're confident.

    Summary

    Half a head shorter, the blond has to reach up to grab handfuls of the prince’s hair—somewhat gently, judging by the way the prince only laughs as his head is rocked side-to-side.

    The prince leans down and plucks the cigarette from the blond’s lips, then kisses him. The blond’s hands fall from his hair to cup his cheeks.

    Your grip creaks against the leatherbound steering wheel.

    You could honk. Make the dog come running. And he would too. As soon as they part, the boy looks up, finally notices your car across the street, and even if it doesn’t last long, that look on his face says he feels the leash’s weight.
