Praise for ParaSpheres: Extending Beyond the Spheres of Literary and Genre Fiction: Fabulist and New Wave Fabulist Stories…

"A feast of fine writing and striking applications of the fantastic to the everyday . . . ParaSpheres performs an inestimable service."  —Nick Gevers, Locus magazine

"[A] marvelously generous collection of stories that dart back and forth over the boundary supposedly separating the genre of the fantastic from mainstream literature."  —Peter Straub, bestselling author

"A marvelous anthology full of marvelous tales. The sum of an anthology can sometimes be greater than its parts, and these parts—these stories—are bold, haunting, and remarkable."  —Kelly Link, author, Stranger Things Happen

"The editors have cast an impressively wide net. . . . As a collection of stories, andan introduction to a number of new writers, ParaSpheres is fine, and well worth your attention."  —Stephen Jeffery, Interzone

"ParaSpheres has succeeded in . . . presenting an excellent selection of unique writing and providing an alternative framework through which it may be understood."  —Miranda Siemienowicz, HorrorScope

"Full of superb stories . . . often breathtaking . . . ParaSpheres doesn't point toward other worlds as much as point toward ours, and how we have let our public and private spheres become, alternately, reverie and nightmare."  —Alan DeNiro, Rain Taxi Online

"This anthology begins with a fascinating discussion of fiction and its subdivisions. . . . They are tales of weirdness and wonder, largely set in odd analogues of our own world. Not quite like ordinary literature, nor yet like typical fantasy, they hold a unique and intriguing flavor."  —S. Ardrian, Fearless Reviews
